Abstract

The impact of a titanium barrier layer on the residual thermal stress in passivated multilevel aluminium metallization structure (Al lines and connecting via) is investigated using an advanced finite element approach. It is confirmed that the titanium, when is presented in the structure, can significantly improve the reliability of the Al metallization.
