Abstract
A novel industry methodology has been developed to analyze TDDB reliability failure on Cu/Low-k SiCOH interconnects. Initial breakdown point is at interface between capping layer and metal line. Inline process control needs to be tightened to improve end of line profile and electric field variation.
