Dan3,

Re: "He mentions the problem of filling voids - is there any benefit to copper
over aluminum in this area?"

YES Dan3 ... There are tremendous differences in ILD gap fill
between copper damascene and traditional Aluminum processing. In fact,
this is one of the major processing advantages of damascene. The reason is
that once you have etched a trench, filled with copper, and then polished ... You have
a very flat surface on which to deposit the next ILD. Expensive, complicated
ILD deposition techniques are not needed in damascene processing.

Make It So,
Yousef
