Multi-parameters optimization for electromigration in WLCSP solder bumps

In this study, we combined finite element method (FEM) based on Ansys and Noesis Optimus software to investigate the effect of bump structures and loading conditions on the electromigration properties of solder bumps in WLCSP. A numerical model considering current density, vacancy concentration, stress and temperature was utilized to calculate...

Electromigration-induced local dewetting in Cu films

The continuous downscaling of microelectronics has introduced many reliability issues on interconnect. Electromigration and dewetting are major reliability concerns in high-temperature micro- and nanoscale devices. In this paper, the local dewetting of copper thin film during the electromigration test was first found and investigated. When...
