Method and device of remaining life prediction for electromigration failure

摘要

A method for predicting remaining life of electromigration failure is disclosed. The methods includes: establishing an electromigration life model of a MOS device; acquiring a normal electromigration failure lifetime τ₁, based on a current density and a first environment temperature under a preset normal operating condition and the electromigration life model; acquiring a current density stress, based on a target prognostic point τ₂, a second environment temperature and the electromigration life model; inputting the current density stress into a MOS device electromigration failure warning circuit based on a prognostic cell; and if the prognostic circuit of EM failure for a MOS device outputs a high level after a time τ₃, acquiring a remaining life of electromigration failure corresponding to τ₂′ based on τ₁, τ₂ and τ₃. A device for remaining life prediction for electromigration failure is also disclosed.
