  • Abstract
    Comments are made on a recent paper by Hofman and Breitling on the rate of electromigration in thin films. It is shown that the simple concept of electron momentum transfer leads to a quadratic relation between the current density and rate of electromigration, in agreement with Black. Comments on the difficulty of relating this rate to failure times of metal conductors are also presented.
