Influence of interfacial delamination on channel cracking of elastic thin films

Abstract: Channeling cracks in brittle thin films have been observed to be a key reliability issue for advanced interconnects and other integrated structures. Most theoretical studies to date have assumed no delamination at the interface, while experiments have observed channel cracks both with and without interfacial delamination. This paper analyzes the effect of interfacial delamination on the fracture condition of brittle thin films on elastic substrates. It is found that, depending on the elastic mismatch and inter… Show more

“…While the energy release rate for the Cu/BCB interface is consistently lower than that of the Cu/Si interface, the energy release rate for the Si/BCB interface is surprisingly high at the limit of short cracks. As shown in a previous study [27], the asymptotic behavior for the energy release rate of a short interfacial crack depends on the elastic mismatch of the two materials. Previous measurements have reported several interfacial fracture energies [28], which are 12.2 J/m 2 for the Cu/BCB interface and over 24 J/m 2 for the Si/BCB interface.…”

“…In the FEA model, the intrinsic edge warping/curling was idealised as a uniaxial edge-stress condition such that the induced cohesive interfacial stresses were assumed developing hypothetically along a 2D debonded edges rather than on the entire slab interface. In this respect, a 2-D plane strain analysis would suffice (Houben, 2003;Mei et al, 2007). Edge warping/curling was induced using the corresponding edge curvature estimated for variable overlay thickness of 50, 75, 100 and 125mm.…”
