Abstract
High-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was employed to investigate structure evolution of electrodeposited and subsequently annealed in wide temperature interval nano-scale copper wires. The grain structure was shown to be stable in the bottom area of a trench after annealing. The wires were shown to exhibit a large fraction of low-angle boundaries as well as annealing twins.
