The experimental determination of the intrinsic life time of a metallization stack is determined by the used test structures of metal lines and via-metal test structures. The test structure layout is prepared according to the presumption of the failu

The typical via layout in CMOS technology with AlCu-metallizations and tungsten via is cylindrical. Common vias have a size as small as possible in the related process. More challenging application, temperature and mission profiles require higher rob

The layout and design of the on-chip metallization can influence the reliability of products. Thick wide metal tracks are sensitive for failure mechanisms like electromigration (EM), cracking and delamination. The thermal expansion and the volume inc

The technology evolution worsens the stress level of microelectronic applications. The shrinking, higher interconnect stacks, the diversity of functions, higher frequencies and power densities lead to higher stress and more interaction of effects. At

The development and research work has always the challenge to act in and with complexity. A complex system/ problem is characterized by some traits. Such systems/ problems have a high number of variables which are coupled. Complex systems are self-dy
