... substrates fabricated by various deposition procedures in an attempt to systematically vary the properties of the Cr ∕ Si interface. Chromium is of particular interest since Cr films are often used as adhesion layers for more conductive materials in interconnects ( 35 36 ), in metal-dielectric...

.... The predictions are compared to Knudsen’s analytical formula for free molecular flow through long tubes. Finally, in order to see the efficacy of using the analogy in modeling the film thickness variation in a complex source-substrate configuration, an experiment was conducted where chromium films were deposited...
