摘要
We found two failure modes induced by thermal process at 150degreesC and 350degreesC in 140nm Cu interconnects. One is two-dimensional (2D) agglomeration in which 140nm-width line metal is pulled into the wider root metal. The other is three-dimensional (3D) agglomeration in which 130nm via metal is pulled toward the upper wide metal. 140nm Cu structural analysis using EXAFS also shows two types of structure change, presumably corresponding to each failure modes.
