Subgrain-resolved Analysis of Degradation in Cu Metallization via Scanning 3DXRD and Thermomechanical Modeling

Metallization layers play a key role in the performance and reliability of modern power semiconductor devices.

Metallization layers play a key role in the performance and reliability of modern power semiconductor devices. During short-circuit events, rapid heating of power metallization layers induces thermomechanical incompatibility stresses, which may contribute to material degradation…
