    Abstract

    A complete description for early resistance change and two dimensional simulation of mechanical stress evolution in confined Al interconnects, related to the electromigration, is given in this paper. The model, combines the stress/ vacancy concentration evolution with the early resistance change of the Al line, that could be [1] a fast technique for prediction of the MTF of a line compared to the conventional (accelerated) tests.
