Void Growth as a Function of Residual Stress Level in Thin, Narrow Aluminum Lines
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTHigh tensile stresses develop in passivated aluminum line metallizations on silicon substrates after excursion to elevated temperatures. The principal mechanisms to relax these stresses at room temperature are plastic deformation and grain boundary void growth. It is shown that stress relaxation and void growth are intimately connected.
