Parameter and Trend Analysis on Electromigration Acceleration Model

The physical representations of the acceleration parameters in Black equation were studied, which was commonly used in EM reliability modeling. It was pointed out that different values of the parameters represent different failure mechanisms. Meanwhile, for each technology node, a systematic summary on the parameters was given, it illustrates their corresponding trends, and the reasonable range of each parameter was provided so as to facilitate process enhancements. Moreover, for EM data analysis,the feasibility and advantages of using the Weibull distribution were discussed, the shape parameter of which provided more direct and informative messages on test results.
