  • Abstract
    As one of the most failure modes for MOSFET devices, the Au-Al failure mode is mainly caused by the Au-Al intermetallic compounds (IMC) growth. The IMC growth makes the bonding strength decrease and the contact resistance increase. In order to study the Au-Al bonding failure mode, the accelerated life tests were conducted, under three temperature conditions - 150°C, 175°C and 200°C. After the tests, the life model was constructed by the Arrhenius model and the bonding lifetime was predicted. Further, the regression of the contact resistance is fitted and studied.
