    摘要: In sophisticated integrated circuits, an electronic fuse may be formed such that an increased sensitivity to electromigration may be accomplished by including at least one region of increased current density. This may be accomplished by forming a corresponding fuse region as a non-linear configuration, wherein at corresponding connection portions of linear segments, the desired enhanced current crowding may occur during the application of the programming voltage. Hence, increased reliability and more space-efficient layout of the electronic fuses may be accomplished.

    摘要: In a test structure for determining dielectric breakdown events of a metallization system of semiconductor devices, a built-in compliance functionality may allow reliable switching off of the test voltage prior to causing high leakage currents, which may conventionally result in significant damage. Consequently, further failure analysis may be possible after the occurrence of a dielectric breakdown event.

    摘要: In a sophisticated metallization system, enhanced electromigration behavior may be accomplished by incorporating electromigration barriers into metal lines after a given distance, which may be accomplished by providing an increased width in order to obtain an enhanced average grain size in the intermediate metal regions of increased lateral width. Consequently, the electromigration induced material diffusion may encounter an overall increased grain size along the entire depth of the metal lines, thereby resulting in a significantly reduced electromigration effect and thus enhanced reliability of the critical metal lines.
