An electromigration and thermal model of power wires for a priori high-level reliability prediction.

An electromigration and thermal model of power wires for a priori high-level reliability prediction.

In this paper, a simple power-distribution electrothermal model including the interconnect self-heating is used together with a statistical model of average and rms currents of functional blocks and a high-level model of fanout distribution and interconnect wirelength. Following the 2001 SIA roadmap...
