Y. Ji et al., OBSERVATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS ON A MULTILEVEL METALLIZATION SYSTEM USING BACKFLOW EFFECT, Journal of trace and microprobe techniques, 15(4), 1997, pp. 485-488
The SEM-EDX analysis and the electrical measurements indicate that a m
ass backflow is formed in a novel multilevel metallization system. The
electromigration reliability of ohmic contacts for VLSI interconnecti
ons has been improved and the lifetimes of metallization films of micr
oelectronic devices has been increased.
