dc.description.abstract | Ionic transport in the reverse direction of an electric field is caused by momentum transfer from free electrons to metal ions, i.e., electromigration (EM), which is a critical factor leading to copper (Cu) interconnect failure in integrated circuits under extreme operating-conditions. We investigated Cu self-diffusion paths under electrical bias using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An electric current was applied to multigrain Cu lines in the TEM instrument for durations of up to the order of 10⁴ s to trace EM-induced Cu movement around voids and hillocks. Combining this approach with scanning nanobeam diffraction, we observed that high-angle grain boundaries exposed to the free surface are the most favored paths for Cu EM, rather than a specific orientation within the grain. On hillocks of accumulated Cu atoms, we directly observed grain growth, accompanied by the formation of Sigma 7 high-mobile and Sigma 3 twin coincidence site lattice boundaries for effective growth. This study provides insight into the EM mechanism to improve the reliability of metal interconnect design. | - |
