摘要: A thermal model and a control algorithm are developed for rapid electromigration (EM), which extracts both temperature resistance acceleration (EXTRA) from standard wafer-level test (SWEAT) structure. SWEAT structure complexity makes determination of the during execution stress very difficult. The originally is inaccurate because it cannot separate changes EM voiding, this adds variability to failure distributions. EXTRA uses heat flow characteristics individual regions provide (1) narrow region separated due (2) convergence, (3) without empirically derived software, (4) overall reduced in >
