Stochastic Approach for Pitting Corrosion Modeling: I . The Case of Quasi‐Hemispherical Pits

Abstract
Belongs to the group of transition metal dioxides which crystallize in tetragonal rutile structure and have low bulk metallic resistivities ranging from 30 to 100 μΩ‐cm. Because of the thermal stability and excellent diffusion barrier properties, they deserve a special notice as metallization alternatives in a variety of VLSI applications. We will discuss our recent work on characterization of reactively sputtered films of and will specifically explore correlations between oxygen‐induced stress and their microstructure and diffusion barrier properties.
