Title
A compact model for early electromigration failures of copper dual-damascene interconnects.
Abstract
A compact model for early electromigration failures in copper dual-damascene interconnects is proposed. The model is based on the combination of a complete void nucleation model together with a simple mechanism of slit void growth under the via. It is demonstrated that the early electromigration lifetime is well described by a simple analytical expression, from where a statistical distribution can be conveniently obtained. Furthermore, it is shown that the simulation results provide a reasonable estimation for the lifetimes.
