Abstract
A conformal disposable absorber is disclosed which is capable of providing efficient heat transfer to an embedded memory device during a localized absorber anneal, without adversary impacting the back-end-of-the-line (BEOL) structure. The disposable absorber is composed of an amorphous carbonitride material that can be designed to have a low reflection coefficient for laser/flash illumination, and a high extinction coefficient for efficient laser/flash illumination absorption. The disposable absorber is formed at a temperature of 400° C. or less.
