Patent abstract
A copper film is treated by applying light at short wavelengths, e.g., at less than 0.6 μm, to heat the copper film and generate a large temperature gradient from the surface of the copper to the interface between the copper and underlying silicon. As a result, grain growth in the copper is enhanced.
