Interconnection device for low and high current stress electromigration and correlation study

摘要

An interconnection test structure for evaluating more accurately and reliably electromigration characteristics is provided. The test structure includes an elongated metal test conductor having a first end and a second end, small extension metal conductors connected to the first end and the second end of the test conductor, and a plurality of vias disposed in the small extension metal conductors adjacent the first end and the second end of the test conductor. As a result, the current density of the plurality of vias is made to be less than the current density of the test conductor.
