Abstract Microstructure and its effect on mechanical behavior of ultrafine interconnects have been studied in this paper using a modeling approach. The microstructure from the processes of solidification, spinodal decomposition, and grain growth in ultrafine interconnects has highlighted its importance. The size, geometry and composition of interconnects as well as the elastic energy can influence microstructure and thus the mechanical behavior. Quantification of microstructure in ultrafine interconnects is a necessary step to establish the linkage between microstructure and reliability.

Modern computational methods have proved invaluable for the design and analysis of structural components using lightweight materials. The challenge of optimizing lightweight materials in the design of industrial components relates to incorporating structure-property relationships within the computational strategy to incur robust designs. One effective methodology of incorporating structure-property relationships within a simulation-based design framework is to employ a hierarchical multiscale modeling strategy. This paper reviews techniques of multiscale modeling to predict the mechanical behavior of amorphous polymers. Hierarchical multiscale methods bridge nanoscale mechanisms to the macroscale/continuum by introducing a set of structure-property relationships. This review discusses the current state of the art and challenges for three distinct scales: quantum, atomistic/coarse graining, and continuum mechanics. For each scale, we review the modeling techniques and tools, as well as discuss important recent contributions. To help focus the review, we have mainly considered research devoted to amorphous polymers.
