An investigation into the Blech effect on aluminumbased metallization shows that modifying the Blech product (jL) to j 2 L allows electromigration lifetimes for short line segments to be extrapolated to operating conditions. The use of this modified Blech product in calculating current acceleration provides good correlation with n from Black's equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
