Abstract

A model of creep affected electromigration (CAEM) in near-threshold conductors is shown to fit electromigration threshold and kinetics data better than the Blech model. Its most significant prediction is that the overall rate of EM displacement in near-threshold conductors is controlled by a strictly local mechanical process, diffusional creep, most likely by a bulk diffusion Nabarro-Herring process.
