Effects of scaling and grain structure on electromigration reliability of Cu interconnects

Electromigration (EM) remains a major reliability concern for on-chip Cu interconnects due to the continuing scaling and the introduction of new materials and processes. In Cu interconnects, the atomic diffusion along the Cu/SiCN cap interface dominates the mass transport and thus controls EM reliab...
