摘要
We presented a model for the line-width-dependent grain structure statistics in bamboo interconnects, We then showed, using an electromigration simulation, that grain orientation-dependent interface diffusivities constitute a likely mechanism contributing to the variabilities in lifetimes observed in experiments.
