Theory And Modeling

ABSTRACTIt is well known from studies of individual interfaces that grain boundaries exhibit a spectrum of properties because their structure is misorientation dependent. Usually this variability is neglected and properties are modeled using a mean field approach. The limitations inherent in this approach can be overcome, in principle, using a combination of experimental techniques, theory and modeling. The bamboo structure of an interconnect is a particularly simple polycrystalline structure that can now be readily characterized experimentally and modeled in the computer. The grain misorientations in a [111] textured aluminum line have been measured using the new automated technique of orientational imaging microscopy. By relating boundary angle to diffusivity the expected stress voiding failure processes can be predicted through the link between misorientation angle, grain boundary excess free energy and diffusivity. Consequently it can be shown that the high energy boundaries are the favored failure sites thermodynamically and kinetically.

Free Energy Of Mixing

The recently introduced four atom cluster model is used to obtain higher order conditional probabilities that describe the atomic correlations in some molten binary alloys. Although the excess free energy of mixing for all the systems studied are almost symmetrical about the equiatomic composition, most other thermodynamic quantities are not and thus, the study enables us to explain the subtle differences in their physical characteristics required to describe the mechanism of the observed strong heterocoordination in Au–Zn or homocoordination in Cu–Ni within the same framework. More importantly, we obtain all calculated quantities for the whole concentration range thus complimenting experimental evidence.
