Backend low-k time-dependent dielectric breakdown degrades reliability of circuits with
Copper metallization. We present test data and link it to a methodology to evaluate chip
lifetime due to low-k time-dependent dielectric breakdown. Other failure mechanisms can be
integrated into our methodology. We analyze several layouts using our methodology and
present the results to show that the methodology can enable the designer to consider easy
design modifications and their impact on lifetime, separate from the design rules.
