5 INTRODUCTION Ogawa/McPherson 5
6 Short History on SIV ALUMINUM Ref: J. McPherson and C. Dunn, Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B, 1321 (1987). Stress-induced Void (SIV) formation Wearout mechanism first reported in Occurs in narrow Al lines (< 4 µm). Driving Force: High hydrostatic stress (σ H ) levels by CTE mismatch between metal and rigid dielectrics (SiO 2 and Si 3 N 4 ). Damage Mode: Voids nucleated at grain boundaries in high stress locations such as line edges or topographical steps. Voiding can continue growth until circuit discontinuity results. 6

Cu: SIV relatively independent of line width. Refs: PhD. Theses, U. Texas at Austin; J. Kasturirangan (1995); Y. Du, (21); I.-S. Yeo (1994); S.-H. Rhee(21). 7

16 Confined Grain Growth Leading to SIV Grain growth produces excess vacancies. Barrier and capping layers trap vacancies. Stress gradients develop underneath via. Vacancies follow stress gradients. σ + σ - σ - σ - σ + σ + 16
17 Excess Void Volume Generated by Grain Growth 1 V GB (s,ds) (µm) s (µm) Void Volume generated assuming grain size doubling. V GB (s,ds) = Total Void Volume generated by GB elimination; s initial grain size; ds grain boundary width =.5 µm. 17
18 Active Diffusion Volume M1 2 x D VIA1 w wide L wide >> x D Active Diffusion Volume (ADV) is defined by a given bake temperature and time. ADV is limited by interconnect geometry, diffusion length, and stress-gradient region. Wide lines have greater number of vacancies to cause SIV. 18

Active diffusion volume picture provides a formalism for redundant placement (or equivalent approaches). Redundancy performed within the active diffusion volume provides additional reliability benefit. Ogawa/McPherson 28

30 Future Research & Outstanding Issues SIV nucleation and growth role of stress and stress gradients, microstructure, interfaces. Microscopic models time-dependent stress relief, via-size dependence, incubation. Interface characterization and modification Impurity additions, surface treatments. New materials research - Low-k intermetal dielectrics, etch stop barriers, and diffusion barriers. 3
31 Conclusions Stress-induced void can occur and is most severe at vias connected to wide Cu metal leads. Vacancy supersaturation can occur due to confined grain growth. The active diffusion volume defines the extent of vacancy migration. Voiding first nucleates at the via perimeter. Kinetics suggest that grain boundary and interface mechanisms are important. Time evolution analysis indicates that a resistance saturation occurs and is a consequence of stress relaxation. Design-in reliability can have a very positive impact on SIV robustness. 31
