An approach for modeling thin polycrystalline films on substrates,centered at the grain scale in order to model local heterogeneities that may lead to failure,is the focus of this work.Heterogeneous stresses and possible subsequent failure mechanisms that arise due to thermal conditions and electromigration are considered.The mechanical behavior is modeled including dislocation motion and interactions,and both stress and electromigration driven diffusion processes.
