Prediction and Prevention of Stress Migration and Electromigration Damage in Passivated Lines
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Based on recent theoretical progress we discuss current and potential new remedies for thermal stress and electromigration induced damage and failure in microelectronic interconnects. We present a new idea involving the patterning of alternately adhering and non-adhering interfaces between metal and surroundings, and briefly discuss the potential for predicting failure and/or extrapolating accelerated test results to service conditions and into the so-called ‘six-sigma’ range.
