An Empirical Model for Early Resistance Changes Due to Electromigration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new heuristic description for electromigration-induced early resistance changes is given. The basis is formed by two coupled partial differential equations, one for vacancies, and one for imperfections. These equations are solved numerically for a grain boundary bamboo structure. It is shown that this model is capable of simulating the typical effects as observed in early resistance change measurements. These early resistance changes are due to the redistributions of the vacancies and the generation of imperfections. Simulations are performed that closely match the measured resistance change curves.

Modeling Electromigration Lifetimes of Copper Interconnects
A model for early failure due to electromigration in copper dualdamascene interconnects is proposed. The model is based on analytical expressions obtained from solutions of electromigration stress build-up assuming slit void growth under the interconnect vias. It is demonstrated that the model satisfactorily describes the complex physics of void nucleation and growth of the electromigration dam...
متن کاملAnalysis of Resistance Change Development due to Voiding in Copper Interconnects ended by a Through Silicon Via
The resistance change due to electromigration induced voiding in modern copper interconnects ended by a Through Silicon Via (TSV) is analyzed. It is shown that two different modes of resistance increase exist during the period of void growth under the TSV. Primarily responsible are imperfections at the TSV bottom introduced during the fabrication process. Consequently, the time to failure of su...

Although a lot of work has been performed on electromigration, it is still not at present well understood, and a more detailed understanding of the electromigration process is de\ired. The most accepted method for electromigr ation testing has been conventional life-testing of samples until a particular failure condition is reached. Although this method gives information such a\ median time to ...

متن کاملTransient Modeling of Electromigration and Lifetime Analysis of Power Distribution Network for 3D ICs
In this paper, we present a transient modeling of electromigration (EM) in TSV and TSV-to-wire interfaces in the power delivery network (PDN) of 3D ICs. In particular, we model atomic depletion and accumulation, effective resistance degradation, and full chip-scale PDN lifetime degradation due to EM. Our major focuses are on: (1) timedependent multi-physics EM modeling approach to model TSVs an...
