Abstract

The changes of microstructure in Al and Cu thin film lines due to electromigration have been studied using transmission electron microscopy. Grain boundary migration, inclination and dislocation activity were found to be critically involved in the electromigration induced hillock formation that can be described as three dimensional grain growth.
