Abstract
Grain boundary voiding and notching have been found to produce failures in narrow metallizations during thermal aging. The nucleation and growth of grain boundary voids are considered to occur as a result of grain boundary sliding and the subsequent stress-induced mass transport. A proposed model yields the linewidth and temperature dependence of the observed failure rate.
