Electromigration of Ni in Al thin-film conductors
Abstract
An analysis of mass transport during electromigration in Al+Ni thin-film conductors indicates an anomalously large grain-boundary diffusivity of Ni in Al+Ni. This large value may be explained if the grain-boundary adsorption coefficient for solute atoms is assumed to be inversely proportional to the solubility limit.
