Copper is FCC with a cubic edge ( lattice constant ) of 0 . 3 6 nm , and each atom contributes one conduction electron.

Copper is FCC with a cubic edge (lattice constant) of 0.36 nm, and each atom contributes one conduction electron. For bulk copper, the measured resistivity is 1.6 x 10-8 \Omega -m. The resistivity increases to 2.1 x 10-8 \Omega -m as the copper is patterned to form interconnect lines with cross-sectional area (line width x thickness) of 22 x 150 nm2. Assume the effective electron mass is equal to free electron mass. Estimate the relaxation (or mean collision) time of conduction electrons in the fine copper lines due to surface scattering
