IntroductionElectromigration in aluminum films has been identified as an increasing concern for integrated circuit reliability. Electromigration is the mass transport of atoms in a conductor under a current stress. Electromigration occurs in conductors experiencing current densities greater than 105 A/cm2 and is accelerated by high temperature. The damage to aluminum films manifests itself in the formation of voids, hillocks and whiskers along the conductor. This paper presents a test vehicle preparation procedure which can be used to investigate electromigration.

The downhole oil and gas market is continually pushing for higher reliability at higher temperatures. Satisfying this need requires continuous improvement, driven by failure analysis of both internal testing and field returns. This paper discusses recent lessons learned from on-going tests. Results of unpowered circuit assembly tests are reviewed. Also, a detailed analysis of separate powered life testing is presented. The internal testing results are further discussed in the context of field return data.
