摘要
Failure modes for inter-level dielectric layers under accelerated test conditions are evaluated for copper / low-k interconnects. The dominate failure mode at high voltage stress conditions appears to be mechanical cracking at the dielectric barrier / low-k interface. A simple model for the electrostatic force between interdigitated lines is able to account for the failure with certain assumptions about interfacial adhesion strength of the dielectric diffusion barrier.
