Substrate-Influenced Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue of Copper Metallizations: Limits of Stoney’s Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rapid progress in the reduction of substrate thickness for silicon-based microelectronics leads to a significant reduction of the device bending stiffness and the need to address its implication for the thermo-mechanical fatigue behavior of metallization layers. Results on 5 µm thick Cu films reveal a strong substrate thickness-dependent microstructural evolution. Substrates with hs = 323 and 220 µm showed that the Cu microstructure exhibits accelerated grain growth and surface roughening. Moreover, curvature-strain data indicates that Stoney's simplified curvature-stress relation is not valid for thin substrates with regard to the expected strains, but can be addressed using more sophisticated plate bending theories.

Evaluation of the Thermo Mechanical Reliability of PTH Copper in PCBs
The thermo mechanical reliability of plated through holes (PTH) in printed circuit boards (PCB) normally is determined by different tests (e.g. thermo cycle test (TCT), interconnect stress test (IST), highly accelerated thermal shock (HATS). During these tests the PTH Cu is exposed to stresses and strains which are below the tensile strength and the fracture strain, respectively, which leads to...
