  • Abstract
    In this paper the methodology with thermal effect considered for predicting the maximum allowed current density Jmax in Copper (Cu) based interconnect is proposed. Based on the more accurate Jmax, an improvement on (jL) product-filtering algorithm for circuit level electromigration reliability analysis is discussed, which can guide us the reliability concern in the circuit design and layout process.
