摘要
提出了一种新的测试结构(S结构),通过实验、理论推导和有限元分析,研究了铜与TaN扩散阻挡层界面的电流拥挤效应对电迁移致质量输运特性的影响。实验和有限元分析表明,铜互连线内由于电流拥挤效应的存在,在用户温度下沿特定通道输运的局部原子通量显著增大,而焦耳热所产生的温度梯度对原子通量和通量散度增大的影响则相对有限。
A slit-test structure was designed to structurally induce and accelerate current crowding in Cu damascene lines. Electromigration (EM) experiments, theoretical calculation and quantitative finite element analysis were applied to study the impact of current crowding on EM-induced mass transport along damascene Cu wires on the interface between Cu/TaN barrier layers. Experiments and quantitative finite element analysis demonstrates local atomic flux is enhanced by current crowding in situ; at the same time, atomic flux and flux divergence is effect remarkably along critical diffusion paths enhanced relatively limitedly by Joule-heating induced temperature gradients.
