The development of a metallization process with optical resistance to electromigration is, by nature, an iterative process. Accelerated stressing of metal test patterns allow quantitative comparison of the electromigration performance of metal fabricated with experimental processes. Understanding of structural differences between process alternatives can be enhanced by physical characterization of unstressed samples. Failure analysis of stressed structures provides insight into the relationship of these differences to the physical failure mechanisms. The analyses which identified process modifications to achieve improved electromigration performance are discussed.
