Both middle-of-line (MOL) gate to contact spacer dielectric and back-end-of-line (BEOL) low- k dielectric breakdown data are commonly convoluted with multiple variables induced by process steps such as lithography, etch, chemical–mechanical polish

During the study of time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of back-end-of-line low- k dielectrics, accurate statistical and area-scaling models are important for the final reliability lifetime projection. The extrapolated product lifetime from hi

Low-k dielectrics, which are beneficial for chip resistance-capacitance (RC) delay improvement, crosstalk-noise minimization, and power-dissipation reduction, are indispensable for the continuous scaling of advanced VLSI circuits, particularly that o
