Kurzfassung englisch:
Physics-based numerical simulations have been widely employed for understanding electromigration (EM) induced voiding in Cu interconnects. Yet, their application has remained limited to exploratory studies given their computational cost. To achieve fast, yet accurate, void dynamics simulations, in this study, a neural network (NN) is trained to determine local current density distributions around void surfaces. Up to 85% reduction of computational time was achieved by replacing the finite-element (FE) solver with the NN. The model was used to investigate the impact of interconnect linewidth, line and via aspect ratio and microstructure on void dynamics.
