Impact of pre-existing voids on electromigration in copper interconnects

Previous in-situ electromigration experiments on copper interconnect have shown voids drifting towards the cathode, instead of nucleating at the cathode end. These voids could have pre-existed in the line before stressing and drifted towards the cathode. Furthermore, fatal voids observed from failur...
