【題目】“Physics of Electromigration in Today ULSI Interconnection”

 

 

■Abstract

Electromigration has been and will continue be an important reliability issue for ULSI.  With the advanced in technology node in integrated circuit technology, the physics of electromigration has changed, and electron wind force is no longer the sole driving force, and also the commonly used Black Equation is shown to be inaccurate.  In this talk, the basic physics of electromigration will be presented, and the impact of electromigration to circuit performances will be shown.  The changing driving forces in electromigration will also be shown using both experimental and modeling approach.  The Black’s equation for the prediction of the electromigration lifetime is revisited, and it is shown to be invalid experimentally.  The alternative model to describe the lifetime of interconnection due to electromigration is presented.

With this change in the physics of electromigration, the commonly employed electromigration aware design methodology is challenged and new method that employed 3D circuit model will be shown.

 

Prof. TAN CHER MING graduated from the National University of Singapore with 1st class honor in 1984.  He received his M.A.Sc and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1987 and 1992 respectively.  He has 10 years of industrial experiences in electronic industry (both Singapore and Taiwan) before joining Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as faculty member in 1996.
