The influence of microstructure on the probability of early failure in aluminum-based interconnects

For electromigration in short aluminum interconnects terminated by tungsten vias, the well known “short-line” effect applies. In a similar manner, for longer lines, early failure is determined by a critical value Lcrit for the length of polygranular clusters. Any cluster shorter than Lcrit is “immor...
