    Abstract

    Due to the continuing downscaling of the dimensions in VLSI circuits, electromigration is becoming a serious reliability hazard. A software tool based on finite element analysis has been developed to solve the two partial differential equations of the two particle vacancy/imperfection model. Simulation results of the complex grain structure of Al thin films show a very good match with experimental results
