Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of electromigration damage by multiple electrical measurements
B.K. Jones,Y.Z. Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an a.c. bridge system has been developed for electromigration studies of integrated circuit metal film interconnects, where changes in the resistance, second and third harmonic amplitudes of the excitation signal and the generation of excess low frequency noise have been studied on specimens which have been subjected to high temperature and current stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical measurements as early indicators of electromigration failure
TL;DR: In this paper, the results and analysis of several electrical parameters measured at room temperature at intervals during electromigration stress of A1 4% Cu specimens were given, including resistance, second harmonic and electrical noise changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excess noise as an indicator of digital integrated circuit reliability
B.K. Jones,Y.Z. Xu +1 more
TL;DR: Excess noise measurements have been performed on CMOS logic integrated circuits and the presence and size of the noise has been shown to be a sensitive indicator of the quality and hence reliability of the device as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and thermal conductivity modes of scanning probe microscopy for electromigration studies
A. Buck,B.K. Jones,H.M. Pollock +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) in two thermal modes, as well as the usual topographical mode, for the study of samples which have suffered electromigration damage was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noise and DC characteristics of power silicon diodes
R. Crook,B.K. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, measurements have been performed on six silicon power diodes to observe the correlation between the noise characteristics and other electrical parameters in order to investigate which are good indicators of the quality and hence possible reliability.
