摘要: There are several reasons to believe that the microstructural changes in Al‐Si interconnects has be described terms of a spectrum activation energies rather than single energy. In this article, method is presented extract from an isothermal and constant heating rate experiment. The formalism was applied relaxation behavior passivated Al‐1%Si interconnects. analysis shows mechanisms these characterized by narrow spectrum, centered at energy about 1.2 eV.
