Observation of Joule Heating-Assisted Electromigration Failure Mechanisms for Dual Damascene Cu/SiO₂ Interconnects

Chang, Choon Wai, Gan, C.L., Thompson, Carl V., Pey, Kin Leong, Choi, Wee Kiong 01 1900 (has links)
Failure mechanisms observed in electromigration (EM) stressed dual damascene Cu/SiO₂ interconnects trees were studied and simulated. Failure sites with ‘melt patch’ or ‘crater’ are common for test structures in the top metal layer, though the occurrence of such failure modes probably depends on the passivation layer thickness. Interconnects that were EM stressed for a short time and then stressed with increasing current to induce Joule heating in the line had similar failure sites to lines that were stressed to failure under standard EM conditions. This shows that some failure mechanisms during EM could be assisted by Joule heating effect. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

Electroosmotic Flows in a Square Microchannel

Lin, Hung-chun 14 July 2005 (has links)
Experiments were performed using a microparticle image velocimetry (MPIV) for full field velocity distributions of electroosmotically driven flows in a 40 mm long microchannel with a square cross section of 200 µm ¡Ñ 200 µm. Electroosmotic flow bulk fluid velocity measurements were made in a range of streamwise electric field strengths from 5 to 25 kV/m. A series of seed particle calibration tests can be made in a 200 µm x 200 µm x 24000 µm untreated PDMS channel incorporating MPIV to determine the electrophoretic mobilities in aqueous buffer solutions of 1 TAE, 1 TBE, 10 mM NaCl, and 10 mM borate, respectively. A linear/nonlinear (due to Joule heating) flow rate increase with applied field was obtained and compared with those of previous studies. A parametric study, with extensive measurements was performed with different electric field strength and buffer solution concentration under a constant zeta potential at wall for each buffer. The characteristics of electroosmotic flow in square microchannels were thus investigated. Finally, a composite correlation of the relevant parameters was developed within accuracy for 99% of the experimental data.

Experimental Study of Electroosmotic Flow in Microchannels with Velocity/Temperature Measurements

Yang, Teng-kuei 20 July 2007 (has links)
Experiments were conducted on the investigation of the electroosmotic flow with five different electric field strength, four kinds of buffer solution concentration, six different pH values, and three kinds of microchannel geometry. Joule heating effects were also taken into consideration. Experiments were performed using a microparticle image velocimetry (MPIV) for full field velocity distributions and micro laser-induced fluorescent (£gLIF) for full field temperature distributions. It is found that the presence of Joule heating and flow area change could have a great impact on the microfluidic transportation, e.g. dispersion. Furthermore, data were presented and the relation between zeta potential and pH value were discussed in detail. It is found that, as pH > 7.5, all silanol sites are deprotonated.

Estudio de factibilidad de sintetizar carburo de silicio biomórfico mediante efecto Joule

Lara Marro, Gloria del Pilar January 2009 (has links)
El estudio del carburo de silicio biomórfico en los últimos años, se ha centrado en los tipos de impregnación utilizados y la metodología aplicada para mejorar la eficiencia de ésta. El calentamiento es similar entre los distintos casos y se desarrolla en hornos de alta temperatura. El presente trabajo de título aborda esta situación y resuelve, mediante una acción de innovación, incursionar en el área y utilizar un efecto termoeléctrico empleado comúnmente en la industria para generar temperatura, en la investigación y desarrollo del carburo de silicio biomórfico. El objetivo general del presente trabajo de título es estudiar la factibilidad de obtener carburo de silicio biomórfico a partir de muestras de madera pirolizadas y sin pirolizar, impregnadas preferentemente con sílice, utilizando calentamiento por efecto Joule. Se prepararon probetas de madera pirolizada y sin pirolizar, que posteriormente fueron impregnadas, de preferencia, con sílice. También se probó el caso de impregnación con silicato de sodio. Después de ensayar distintas metodologías de impregnación, se decidió someter las muestras a vacío y luego sumergirlas en la solución a presión. Terminado este procedimiento se calentaron con efecto Joule durante tres horas aproximadamente donde se midieron temperaturas del orden de 1350°C. Las muestras tratadas presentaron carburo de silicio visible en los extremos positivos, de acuerdo a como se instalaron. Esto se atribuye a otros fenómenos termoeléctricos que se presentaron en las muestras, como lo son el efecto Thomson y el efecto Peltier. Pese a que ninguna de las muestras sometidas al proceso de impregnación y calentamiento por efecto Joule se convirtió 100% en carburo de silicio, los resultados del análisis de difracción de rayos X indican presencia de carburo de silicio en todas las muestras a las que se le realizó el calentamiento. Este análisis también reveló la existencia de carbono amorfo, lo cual era esperable. Se concluye que es factible obtener carburo de silicio biomórfico a partir de probetas de madera pirolizadas y sin pirolizar, impregnadas son sílice y calentadas por efecto Joule. Los resultados de la impregnación con silicato de sodio se consideran promisorios. Se recomienda mejorar la instalación para el calentamiento.

Dynamique de la turbulence partiellement 2D / partiellement 3D : une étude expérimentale et théorique dans le cadre MHD à bas-Rm / The dynamics of partly 2D / partly 3D turbulence : an experimental and theoretical investigation in the low-Rm MHD framework

Baker, Nathaniel T. 09 March 2017 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est de clarifier le rôle de la composante rotationnelle de la force de Lorentz dans sa capacité à imposer la topologie, et la dynamique des écoulements turbulents MHD à bas Rm, confinés par des parois rigides et électriquement isolantes. Le travail présenté ici se scinde en deux parties : D'une part une étude théorique effectuée dans un cadre faiblement inertiel, d'autre part une étude expérimentale d’écoulements turbulents pleinement développés. L’étude théorique porte sur un vortex isolé, stationnaire et axisymétrique, confiné entre deux parois rigides et électriquement isolantes, perpendiculaires à un champ magnétique uniforme. Grâce à un développement asymptotique des équations de Navier-Stokes, valable quel que soit le nombre de Hartmann, nous montrons que la dimensionnalité topologique de l’écoulement de base ne dépend que d'un seul paramètre. Ce paramètre en question compare en fait la distance sur laquelle la partie rotationnelle de la force de Lorentz est capable d'agir dans la direction du champ magnétique, avant d’être contrée par les effets visqueux. Cette étude met en lumière deux mécanismes inertiels capables d'engendrer une composante de la vitesse dans la direction du champ magnétique au premier ordre, en introduisant des recirculations dans le plan méridional : du pompage d'Ekman direct ou inverse. Un dispositif expérimental à également été construit durant ce projet, afin d’étudier la dynamique d’écoulements turbulents de métaux liquides soumis à des champs magnétiques intenses. La turbulence stationnaire engendrée par ce dispositif était forcée électriquement en imposant un courant continu à travers une matrice carrée et periodique d’électrodes d'injection. Grâce à ce dispositif, nous avons montré que les statistiques des fluctuations turbulentes étaient raisonnablement homogènes et axisymétriques, malgré un forçage inhomogène et anisotrope. Nous confirmons également, en comparant les densités d’énergie cinétique turbulentes mesurées le long des parois perpendiculaires au champ magnétique, que les processus physiques en jeu dans le domaine inertiel 3D de la turbulence MHD confinée à bas Rm sont bien la composante rotationnelle de la force de Lorentz d'une part, et les transferts inertiels d'autre part. Grâce à une étude statistique dans l'espace des échelles, nous montrons que la cinématique de la turbulence forcée dans notre expérience suit en fait une loi universelle qui ne dépend que de deux longueurs caractéristiques. Premièrement, l’échelle d'injection, dans la direction perpendiculaire au champ magnétique. Deuxièmement, le rayon d'action de la force de Lorentz avant d’être contrée par les effets inertiels, dans la direction parallèle au champ. Nous prouvons que le rapport entre cette dernière longueur caractéristique et la hauteur de l'enceinte expérimentale permet de différencier les structures turbulentes cinématiquement quasi-2D de celles qui sont cinématiquement 3D. En calculant directement le flux d’énergie cinétique turbulente perpendiculaire à travers les échelles horizontales, nous montrons que ce dernier est toujours dirigé vers les grandes échelles. Ce quel que soit la dimensionnalité des échelles en question. Autrement dit, une cascade inverse d’énergie perpendiculaire peut exister sans pour autant que les structures turbulentes associées soient quasi-2D. / This thesis aims at clarifying the role of the solenoidal component of the Lorentz force in fixing the topological dimensionality, and the ensuing dynamics of low-Rm MHD turbulent flows confined between electrically insulating and no-slip Hartmann walls. The work presented here breaks down into two main parts: An analytical investigation carried out in the weakly inertial limit on the one hand, and an experimental study of fully developed turbulence on the other hand. The analytical investigation was performed on a single steady and axisymmetric electrically driven vortex confined between no-slip and electrically insulating walls perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. Thanks to an asymptotic expansion valid for any Hartmann number, we showed that the topological dimensionality of the leading order is fully imposed by a single parameter, which compares the distance over which the Lorentz force is able to act in the direction of the magnetic field, before it is balanced out by viscous friction. This study highlights two inertial mechanisms capable of introducing a third velocity component in the direction of the field, by means of recirculations in the meridional plane: direct and/or inverse Ekman pumping. An experimental platform was designed and built from the ground up during this project, to investigate the dynamics of liquid metal turbulence subject to extreme magnetic fields. The turbulence sustained in our experiment was forced electrically by imposing a DC current through a square periodic array of electrodes. Thanks to this setup, we showed that the statistics of the turbulent fluctuations were homogeneous and axisymmetric to a satisfactory level, despite the forcing mechanism being inhomogeneous and anisotropic. By comparing the energy densities measured along the walls perpendicular to the magnetic field, we confirm that the physical processes at stake in the 3D inertial range of wall-bounded MHD turbulence at low-Rm are the solenoidal component of the Lorentz force on the one hand, and inertia on the other hand. Thanks to a statistical analysis in scale space, we show that their exists a universal law imposing the kinematics of turbulent structures in our experiment, which turns out to be fully described by only two lenghtscales. First, the forcing scale in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. Second, the range of action of the Lorentz force before it is balanced out by inertial transfers, in the direction parallel to the field. We prove that the ratio of this latter scale over the height of the channel in fact segregates kinematically quasi-2D from kinematically 3D turbulent structures. By computing the actual flux of perpendicular turbulent kinetic energy along perpendicular scales, we show that it always flows towards larger turbulent scales regardless of their topology. In other words, we show that the existence of an inverse cascade of perpendicular kinetic energy does not necessarily require perpendicular turbulent scales to be topologically quasi-2D in the inertial range.
