Abstract

The invention discloses an electromigration reliability test structure of multilayer of metal interconnected metal wires, comprising the multilayer of metal wires, the lengths of the metal wires are no less than 200 microns, other parameters of the metal wires meet the design requirements of a chip to be tested, and every two layers of metal wires are connected by a through hole so as to form a structure in shape of Chinese character GONG (arch), wherein one end of a first layer of metal wire far away from the through hole and one end of a top layer of metal wire far away from the through hole are respectively provided with a current input end; and both ends of each metal wire are respectively provided with a voltage measuring end. With the adoption of the electromigration reliability test structure disclosed by the invention, electromigration service life data of each layer of metal wire are obtained with the testing of a structure, thereby the test time can be greatly shortened, a process development period is shortened, test samples are reduced, and the test cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electromigration reliability test structure of multilayer metal interconnected metal lines. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the test structure. Background technique [0002] Electromigration is the phenomenon of mass migration of metals under the action of high current density, which causes holes in the cathode end of the metal wire (resulting in increased resistance or even open circuit); the anode end forms hillocks or whiskers (short circuit due to contact with adjacent metal wires) ). Therefore, electromigration is an important factor affecting device reliability, and electromigration testing has also become one of the important items in process reliability evaluation. The traditional electromigration test method is to apply a DC current to the test structure at high temperature, and observe the resistance change at the same time, until the resistance changes to a certain extent and record the fail...
