Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the distribution of the local c urrent density and temperature gradients along the test patterns emplo yed for the evaluation of the electromigration phenomena in metal trac ks. The impact of the line shape is taken into account. The investigat ion has been performed by means of a 2D simulator based on a FEM solve r.
