Electromigration monitor
Abstract:
An EM testing method includes forcing electrical current through EM monitor wiring arranged in close proximity to the perimeter of the TSV and measuring an electrical resistance drop across the EM monitor wiring. The method may further include determining if an electrical short exists between the EM monitor wiring and the TSV from the measured electrical resistance. The method may further include determining if an early electrical open or resistance increase exists within the EM monitoring wiring due to TSV induced proximity effect.
