Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have evaluated electromigration resistance of giant-grain copper interconnects by using a newly-developed electromigration lifetest method under extremely large current stress.From the results of lifetests,we have demonstrated giant-grain Cu interconnects have much larger electromigration resistance than Al- alloy interconnects.Furthermore,we have discovered a new mode of electromigration failure occurring in Cu interconnects.Cu atoms move to the direction traversing the electron flow when an extremely large current stress condition is employed.
