This is the test structure used for the test 2.2.2 Blech length the line length below which electromigration time to failure increases sharply 11NOTE The drift of metal atoms causes stress build-up in the meta

19、l lines, which caused a back flow of atoms. For short lines the stress gradient is higher than for long lines with the same current density. The forward flow increases more rapidly with current density than the backflow, and consequently the Blech length is inversely proportional to the current dens

20、ity. The Blech length can be determined by using a chain with different line lengths between the vias. _ 1Figures in square brackets refer to the Bibliography. BS EN 62415:2010 6 62415 IEC:2010 3 Background The background of electromigration testing as described in this procedure is based on the ass

21、umption that the entire electromigration failure time distribution stays intact when accelerated. Acceleration can be described by an activation energy and a current acceleration factor, as originally proposed by Black 2. 4 Sample size 15 samples or more are recommended for each test (each test stru

22、cture, temperature and current density). In some cases, to get a better statistical confidence of the results or to analyze a bimodal distribution, a higher number of samples might be necessary. 5 Test structures 5.1 Lines Electromigration characterization shall be carried out on fully back-end proc

23、essed samples. The metal line test structure in a 4-terminal (Kelvin) configuration shall be used (see Figure 1a).The line length is recommended to be at least 800 m. The use of monitors for opens, inter-layer shorts and optional intra-layer shorts is recommended (see Figure 1b).The line length is d

24、etermined by the constraints that short lines are not sensitive to failure and exhibit the Blech effect 1, and too long lines require high voltages.

25、 EN 62415:201062415 IEC:2010 9 Extrapolation to other conditions is done using Blacks equation with no line width term: () ( )exp(% TkEajAxtn=(2) where A is a process-dependent factor, j is the current density, n is the current exponent, Ea is the activation energy, k is the Boltzmann constant, and

26、T is the absolute temperature. It is assumed that this formula holds for all fail percentages, in other words that the spread of the distribution is not affected by the acceleration. For the determination of the activation energy Ea, three temperatures, and for the determination of the current densi

27、ty exponent n, three current densities should be used. The power exponent “n” is determined by plotting for a fixed temperature the logarithm of t(A1 %) versus current density. The slope of this plot gives n (see Figure 4). Current density J Ln(timetofailure)tuseSlopeThe slope power exponent symbol

It has the largest confidence. So, when the current density power exponent or temperature acceleration factor is calculated, it is pr
