Step 1: Degradation of the Resin Glass Interface - Reversible Step 2: Actual Filament Growth - Irreversible Time to Failure Is Believed to Be a Function: - Hole to Hole Spacing - Temperature - Voltage Bias - Humidity The Temperature Relationship Can Be Looked As an Arhennius Relationship While Power Laws Approximate the Other Relationships Mechanism
Electro-Chemical Reactions + - ThroughHole to Through Hole • At the Anode: • Cu Cun + ne- • H20 1/2 O2 + 2 H++2e- • At the Cathode: • H20 +e- 1/2 H2 +2 OH- • The Enthalphy of formation - Copper ion = 64.8 KJ/Mo
Mechanism • The Ionic Mobility and the Electromigration Process Are a Function of • The Conductivity of the Electrolyte. • For a Resistance of 109ohms at 100 V Current I= 100/109 = 10-7 A or 0.1 Micro Amps Vs 0.1 Ma at 106 Ohms • Current Density - For Copper on Copper a Limiting Value Is Needed 0.4 -1.0 Ma/cm2 • IR Is a Key Factor Influencing CAF • The PH of the Electrolyte
