Abstract

Electromigration mechanism in dual-damascene Cu interconnect structures was analyzed by in situ electromigration characterization using scanning electron microscopy. Void formation and migration on the Cu/dielectric interfaces was observed. The different electromigration behaviors of the upper and lower layer dual-damascene structures were also discussed. It was concluded that the findings can led to a better understanding of real electromigration mechanisms in dual-damascene Cu interconnects.
