Local electromigration model for crystal surfaces.
The dynamics of crystal surfaces in the presence of electromigration is analyzed. From a phase field model with a migration force which depends on the local geometry, a step model with additional contributions is derived in the kinetic boundary conditions. These contributions trigger various surface instabilities, such as step meandering, bunching, and pairing on vicinal surfaces. Experiments a...
متن کاملInstability of vicinal crystal surfaces with transparent steps: Transient kinetics and non-local electromigration
The steps at the crystal surfaces could be partially transparent in the sense that the migrating adatoms can cross the steps without visiting a kink position. In the case of significant transparency the velocity of a given step in a given moment is affected by atomic processes which took place at rather distant terraces in rather earlier moments. The reason is that an adatom needs time to cross...
متن کاملInstabilities at vicinal crystal surfaces: Competition between electromigration of adatoms and kinetic memory effect
We studied the step dynamics during sublimation and growth when the adatoms on the crystal surface have a drift velocity DsF /kT, where Ds is the surface diffusion coefficient and F is a force acting on the adatoms F is related to the electric current heating the crystal . In the limit of fast surface diffusion and slow kinetics of atom attachment-detachment at the steps, we formulate a model t...
متن کاملA Statistical Model for Electromigration Failures
The lognormal has been traditionally used to model the failure time distribution of electromigration failures. However, when used to estimate the failure of large metal layers, it leads to a clear disagreement with established empirical data. To resolve this problem, we propose to use a shifted lognormal (SLN) as a better model of the failure time of individual wires. We will show that the SLN ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Model for Early Resistance Changes Due to Electromigration
A new heuristic description for electromigration-induced early resistance changes is given. The basis is formed by two coupled partial differential equations, one for vacancies, and one for imperfections. These equations are solved numerically for a grain boundary bamboo structure. It is shown that this model is capable of simulating the typical effects as observed in early resistance change me...
