Abstract

Electromigration lifetime considering the barrier layer effect under the DC and pulsed DC stress is analyzed numerically. The barrier layer used to stop the copper diffusion also improves the interconnect lifetime. The improvement of lifetime under the DC stress is higher than that under the pulsed DC stress. The lifetime model predictions are also compared with experimental data. Good agreement between the model predictions and experiments is obtained.
