Each element of the characteristics of a transmission line is modeled by a principal part and a remainder. The principal part consists of an impulse and an exponential function, whose Laplace transform matches the original function at infinity frequency with order 1 and at zero frequency with order 0. The remainder consists of a cubic polynomial for a single line and a piecewise cubic polynomial for coupled lines. The model is stable, accurate, simple and efficient to use.","PeriodicalId":286176,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Conference on Solid-State and IC Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125975967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion is focused on the driving force for void formation which is investigated by examining the nature of the thermal stress and its relaxation characteristics of submicron interconnect structures. The recent experimental results obtained by bending beam and X-ray diffraction techniques on the thermal stress and stress relaxation in Al(Cu) interconnect metallization are reviewed. The results reveal that as passivated Al(Cu) lines become narrower, the metal exhibits increasingly elastic behaviour with higher stress levels, a combination of stress characteristics which favour void formation. Stress relaxation behaviour has been investigated in Al(Cu) line structures with line widths of 3, 1 and 0.5 microns at 150, 200 and 250/spl deg/C. Results are consistent with a thermally activated dislocation glide mechanism and the kinetics is controlled by a combined effects of mass transport (diffusion) and shear stress (driving force). Results of these studies and their impact on stress voiding are discussed.","PeriodicalId":286176,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Conference on Solid-State and IC Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128355907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
