Scaling and process effect on electromigration reliability for Cu/low k interconnects
The microelectronics industry has been managing the RC delay problem arising from aggressive line scaling, by replacing aluminum (Al) by copper (Cu) and oxide dielectric by low-k dielectric. Electromigration (EM) turned out to be a serious reliability problem for Cu interconnects due to the implemen...
