Evidence of ultra-low-k dielectric material degradation and nanostructure alteration of the Cu/ultra-low-k interconnects in time-dependent dielectric breakdown failure

Ultra-low-k time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) is one of the most important reliability issues in Cu/low-k technology development due to its weaker intrinsic breakdown strength compared to SiO2 dielectrics. With continuous technology scaling, this problem is further exacerbated for Cu/ult...
