Abstract

The study presented in this article deals with the main issues related to the field of reliability and failures of microelectronic devices. The non-uniform temperature profiles along the lines of global interconnect large-scale integrated circuits (LSI) can significantly affect their performance. This article is an in-depth analysis and simulation of device performance degradation due to non-uniform temperature profiles along the length of the existing global lines and through interconnects that occur because of thermal gradients in the base substrate. The impact of changes in configuration for reducing such interconnect parasitic effects of devices as a mismatch of signals in time and deterioration of active elements Performance VLSI and PCB.

Using the software package SolidWorks 2015 different configurations of vias and the temperature distribution along them were simulated. The effects of the influence of the adjacent metal bridges between the metal layers on temperature decrease trunk VLSI were studied. Regarding thermal efficiency the case of the introduction of the aluminum heat sink vias was analyzed and modeled. Produced studies of heat propagation in interconnects of integrated circuits demonstrate the need for including the analysis of thermal conditions of the chip during the various stages of the planning and optimization of high-performance LSI designs, and in their turn they can be easily adapted for practical purposes.

In the area of discrete power semiconductors, it is often necessary to analyze the thermal behavior of devices during transients, to anticipate possible failures. This analysis is necessary for a variety of discrete devices (OSFET, high-power bipolar transistor IGBT, Schottky diodes, HFETs), carried out on new materials (eg, SiC, GaN / AlGaN)[1]. These devices, due to their specific properties, are used in products such as SMPS, AC / DC converters and wireless applications of microwave emitters. In the design of printed circuit boards one of the most important tasks is to simulate the delay depending on the heating temperature interconnect. These parameters, which may be varied by PCB designer, are the thickness, width, length and material of LSI interconnects.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the interconnects and the adjacent metal layers configuration (heat sinks) on the distribution of heat and propagation delays along the lines of global interconnections. To avoid the deterioration of the device performance and premature device failure, Joule heat must be dissipated across the dielectric films into the substrate. There are many factors that affect the heat transfer and thermal distribution in interconnects, such as the thermal conductivity of the dielectric material, the resistivity of metal lines, a current density of metal lines, geometrical parameters and configuration of interconnects.

For one segment of a signal net, there are four possible configurations, depicted in Figure 1, based on the location and connection of the vias. Here, the routes between substrate and metal 1 and between metals 1 and 2 are examined. One can easily extend these configurations in the same manner to the other metal layers. It is assumed that vias get as hot as the layers that are immediately beneath them. In reality, due to their smaller cross sectional area and higher electrical resistivity, vias can become much hotter.

This study analyzed the case of the interconnection configuration Figure 1b, representing the greatest interest from the practical point of view. For thermal modeling software package SolidWorks 2015 (Figure 2), take interconnection with an rms current of 2 mA in the metal layer with a width of 0.32 m and mainly oxide layer with a thickness of 1.2 mm, length of spread d is approximately 40 microns.

To improve heat transport from global interconnects to base substrate, additional dummy metal lines (metal plugs consisting of Cu) acting as heat sinks can be placed[2]. However, dummy metals simultaneously increase the RC constant since they increase the capacitance.

A dielectric constant of 1.3 corresponds to a 0.01W/ m^K dielectric and 1.8 to 0.065 W/ m^K[3]. The resistivity of metal sinks can be approximated by

P T = Psub (1 + a. T (T — rsub)) (1)

, here pT and psub are the metal resistivities at temperature T and base substrate temperature Tsub, respectively. The coefficient aT is the temperature coefficient of resistivity.

For Cu, aT is around 0.004/ °C, which means the resistance of Cu will be increased by around 1.4 if the temperature increases by 100°. Therefore, maintaining a high level of metal line temperature is also important to prevent an increase of a resistive-capacitive time delay. Proper heat developed in the core location of the joint system, it is necessary to avoid unwanted heat effects, such as e-line metal migration and deterioration of the chip. Modeling interconnect with copper heat sink is shown in Figure 3.

To calculate the delay in global lines, in this paper, the authors use the model of interconnection in the form of a distributed RC-circuit[4], whose parameters depend on the temperature of the point of interconnection (Figure

4).

Figure 4 - Model of interconnect as a distributed RC circuit. The resistance value R and the capacitance C are dependent on the temperature of the interconnection point Ti. Vin is an input voltage generator, Rg is a resistance

generator, Cload is container load.

The temperature distribution on the surface of the crystal (Figure 5., Figure 6.) is calculated by using the "Overheating -MC" [5]. Parameters of interconnection model (the resistance R (Ti) and the capacitance C (Ti)) and RC circuits were calculated on the bases of the temperature distribution along the interconnection lines.

Program for calculating the parameters of the model "Overheating -MC" shows the calculation results in a description of the circuitry in the format of SPICE. Based on the data obtained in the SPICE delays were calculated.

The propagation delay of the signal in the interconnection without the inclusion of a copper heat sink inhomogeneous temperature profile was 33.08 ps, the delay into account the copper heat sink c 26.13 ps, ie, error is 21%.

Conclusions

According to the above study, the configuration and geometry of the metal lines have a strong influence on the heat transfer ability of interconnect systems. Therefore, they must be very carefully planned. The results obtained in this study include qualitative assessments of the heat dissipation of such structures. Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of copper embedded webs are decisive factors in the heat transfer in VLSI interconnects at a certain power level. It is found out that the delay of the nonuniform heat distribution configuration in use with metal heatsink 21% less than for the same interconnect without introducing additional fictitious copper heat sink.

This situation would be much more serious for the global line consisting of more than two layers. The results of this approach can be effectively used for two practically important purposes: firstly, for improving the electric characteristics and thermal conditions existing IC (i.e. their upgrading) and, secondly, for developing a new IC, optimal from the point of thermal conditions, where the negative impact of thermal effects are minimized.rm heat distribution configuration in use with metal heatsink 21% less than for the same interconnect without introducing additional fictitious copper heat sink.
