  • noun
  • /kjuː/
  • Specialized
translation icon : cobre
  • We have successfully used electroplating in the fabrication of damascene Cu interconnections since the beginning of the 1990s.
  • Cu conductor
  • Cu wiring
  • Cu resistivity

But when we're talking Asus direct CU, MSI twin Frozer and GB wind force, we're talking dual fans and heat pipes, some aluminum fans.

Examples

  • In this case, the values do not vary significantly from the Cu thickness.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Significant concentrations of Cu were found in most of the barrier layers containing Ni.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Other factors that influence the etching time are Cu seed thickness, solution pH, and percent of over-etch.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Durable adhesion of polyimide to a Cu conductor is required for multilayers.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Besides structural differences, oxide films formed on the Cu seed delay the onset of seed etching.

    Academic text (1998)
  • A 20-nm Cr layer was used to promote adhesion of the Cu to the polyimide.

    Academic text (1998)
  • To avoid increases in transmission delay, the resistivity of Cu in thin-film microelectronic structures must remain unchanged during processing.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Galvanic coupling between the Cr and the Cu etch solution has been suggested as the mechanism for this effect.

    Academic text (1998)
  • Thin copper oxides on the seed are etched in the plating solution before Cu plating begins.

    Academic text (1998)
  • The conductor was made of Cu, ensuring efficient electrical transmission.

Etymology

Cu comes from the old Latin name cuprum, which means 'from Cyprus' because the island was a main source of the metal, so the name stuck to the metal itself. So Cu stands for copper, the reddish metal used for wires and pipes.
