Electromigration

It can conduct currents one thousand times greater than can copper, without electromigration [a form of structural decomposition within a material due to large current flows] 5. ❋ R (2010)

Increasing current flow through the metal layers of the discharging path can also cause electromigration (EM) induced damages to interconnects. ❋ Unknown (2010)

CustomSim verifies complex power management designs at the transistor level by identifying IR drop, electromigration and standby leakage issues that can impact the reliability and performance of integrated circuits.

By identifying and fixing voltage-drop and electromigration issues earlier in the flow, designers can eliminate costly iterations late in the design process. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I already know that a cpu can die due to overheat deteoration or due to electromigration, but that happens all during use. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Test conditions are such that electromigration does not occur. ❋ Bob Keller (2008)

For nearly a decade, the industry has tried to develop a breakthrough remedy by applying a copper-capping layer to improve electromigration reliability performance. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Also, according to Tu, "the high-lead solder is known to have better resistance to electromigration, eutectic solder is not, especially when current crowding occurs at the cathode entrance where the electrons enter the solder bumps." ❋ Unknown (2008)

The scientist states that it is unclear whether "electromigration will enhance the failure caused by temperature cycle or power cycle", but it appears to be clear that a simple switch without further research is simply not possible with a product that is shipped in millions of units. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The more current you run through a eutectic bump, the quicker the electromigration. ❋ Unknown (2008)

When power is run through eutectic bumps, you also get an effect called electromigration. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In this book, he focuses on two phenomena: ferroelectricity and electromigration. ❋ Unknown (2008)
