  • Abstract
    The impact of Through Silicon Via (TSV) on above BEoL dielectric reliability is studied. Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) is performed on copper dual damascene combs, fabricated in a 65 nm technology node with a SiOCH low-k dielectric, and designed above 10μm diameter and 80μm thick TSVs, processed through a via-middle approach.
