The lognormal has been traditionally used to model the failure time distribution of electromigration failures. However, when used to estimate the failure of large metal layers, it...
During semiconductor manufacturing, particles undesirably depose on the surface of the wafer causing “open” and “short” defects to interconnects. In this paper, a third ty...
We present a model for computing the probability of a parametric failure due to a spot defect. The analysis is based on electromigration in conductors under unidirectional current...
Accurate failure prediction in Grids is critical for reasoning about QoS guarantees such as job completion time and availability. Statistical methods can be used but they suffer f...
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles have the potential to provide an attractive solution for the resistivity and electromigration problems faced by traditional copper int...
