Modeling of stress and electromigration at the microscopic level, in c
onfined interconnect metallic lines with tungsten studs, can very well
account for the resistance behaviour in time. The resistance change a
t saturation for a metallic line with blocking boundaries at both ends
can be related, according to the model, to threshold product (jL)(c)
