Electromigration in 0.15-10 μm wide and 0.3 μm thick Cu lines deposited by physical vapor deposition has been investigated using both resistance and edge displacement techniques in the sample temperature range 255-405°C. For wide polycrystalline lines (>1 μm), the dominant diffusion mechanism is a mixture of grain boundary and surface diffusion, while in narrow lines (<1 μm) the dominant mechanism is surface transport. The activation energy for grain-boundary transport is approximately 0.2 eV higher than that of surface transport. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
