Fatal Void Size Comparisons in Via-Below and Via-Above Cu Dual-Damascene Interconnects
(2004-01)
The median-times-to-failure (t₅₀’s) for straight dual-damascene via-terminated copper interconnect structures, tested under the same conditions, depend on whether the vias connect down to underlaying leads ...
Investigation of the Fundamental Reliability Unit for Cu Dual-Damascene Metallization
(2002-01)
An investigation has been carried out to determine the fundamental reliability unit of copper dual-damascene metallization. Electromigration experiments have been carried out on straight via-to-via interconnects in the ...
Length Effects on the Reliability of Dual-Damascene Cu Interconnects
(2002-01)
The effects of interconnect length on the reliability of dual-damascene Cu metallization have been investigated. As in Al-based interconnects, the lifetimes of Cu lines increase with decreasing length. However, unlike ...
