Modeling and improvement of a metallization system subjected to fast temperature cycle stress
The device failure of DMOS transistors under repetitive inductive load switching is dominated by the thermomechanical deformation of the metallization. The failure evolution is thus experimentally studied with special test structures and highlighted by thermomechanical FEM-simulation. Based on these findings a novel metallization concept is shown, which improves the fast temperature cycle reliability.

Abstract

The device failure of DMOS transistors under repetitive inductive load switching is dominated by the thermomechanical deformation of the metallization. The failure evolution is thus experimentally studied with special test structures and highlighted by thermomechanical FEM-simulation. Based on these findings a novel metallization concept is shown, which improves the fast temperature cycle reliability.
