摘要
Electromigration (EM) studies revealed a strong correlation between observed failure scenario and local microstructural properties at the via-to-line-transition, in particular that of the liner. "Early" failure modes were found to have not only smaller failure times but also a lower current density exponent. The influence of specific processes on the occurrence of certain failure modes will be discussed.
