Electric Current Induced Thermomechanical Fatigue Testing of Interconnects
We demonstrate the use of electrical methods for evaluating the thermomechanical fatigue properties of patterned aluminum and copper interconnects on silicon-based substrates. Through a careful selection of alternating current frequency and current density, we used controlled Joule heating to simulate in an accelerated manner the type of low frequency thermal stress cycles that an interconnect ...
متن کاملMicrostructure Evolution during Electric Current Induced Thermomechanical Fatigue of Interconnects
We demonstrate the evolution of microstructure and deformation associated with the use of electrical methods for evaluating mechanical reliability of patterned interconnects on rigid substrates. Thermomechanical fatigue in aluminum and copper interconnects was induced by means of low frequency (100 Hz), high density (> 10 MA/cm) alternating currents, which caused cyclic Joule heating and associ...
متن کاملModeling and Extraction of Nanometer Scale Interconnects: Challenges and Opportunities
We discuss interconnect parasitic extraction in the nanometer domain using the ITRS 2005 roadmap for future technology generations. Resistance becomes the dominant contribution for timing for local wires at 65 nm and beyond, a major qualitative change. For scaled wires, maintaining global wire routes within 1 clock period is expensive in terms of power consumption. An acceptable solution involv...

نظریه هوش چندگانه قسمتهای متفاوت هوش بشری را مورد بررسی قرار می دهد که با شناخت آن شخص به درک بهتری از توانایی های خود میرسد و در نتیجه سعی در استفاده از آن جهت یادگیری بهتر میکند. همچنین با شناخت استعداد دانش آموزان، فرایند یادگیری بهتر میشود. هدف از انجام دادن این تحقیق بررسی رابطه بین هوش ریاضی و استعداد یادگیری زبان انگلیسی میباشد. برای انجام این تحقیق از پرسشنامه هوش ریاضی که توسط شیرر در ...
Unusual thermal fatigue behaviors in 60 nm thick Cu interconnects
Thermal fatigue of Cu interconnects 60 nm thick and 5–15 lm wide was investigated by using alternating current to generate cycling temperature and strain/stress. The fatigue curves exhibit two regions, i.e. highand low-cycle regions, which correspond to low and high thermal strains, respectively. The high-cycle region is found to be controlled by an unusual thermal fatigue mechanism of damage b...
