Abstract :
We describe a test structure and a testing technique that allows simultaneous stressing of 50 or more parallel thin film lines of the same width. This technique allows determination of the mean time to electromigration-induced failure and the deviation in the time to failure in a single test. This technique allows more rapid statistical evaluation of new or modified interconnect technologies.
