Abstract
In this work, we show accurate temperature
measurement is important in electromigration (EM) test as it can
affect the measured activation energy EA and current density
exponent n. The deviation of measured EA and n due to the
interconnect temperature variations are derived analytically and
illustrated in Cu/low-k interconnects using finite element analysis
(FEA) under typical experimental conditions. The derived
formulations are verified by our previous experimental works.
