Abstract In this paper, the temperature distributions around interconnect defects due to electromigration are presented. A method to overlay the temperature distribution over the optical microscope image of the physical defect has also been developed. This allows a direct correlation of the temperature distribution and the physical structure of the defect.

Abstract It is shown, using micro-Raman spectroscopy, that Shallow Trench Isolation introduces high stresses in the active area of silicon devices when wet oxidation steps are used. These stresses result in defect formation in the active area, leading to high diode leakage currents. The stress levels are highest near the outer edges of line structures and at square structures. They also increase with decreasing active area dimensions.
