Abstract
The use of low κ materials as the final intralayer dielectric (ILD) layer can impact the integrity of edge seals, blown fuses, and even the interface integrity at lower levels. Furthermore, the influence of the final ILD on lower levels depends on the total number of metal levels in the product. This paper addresses the role of final ILD in both environmental and package reliability, and the use of predictive modeling of mechanical reliability.
