Recent Observations on VLSI Bond Pad Corrosion Kinetics

Abstract
The kinetics of chlorine‐induced bond pad corrosion of VLSI Al‐Si metallization have been investigated. A generalized time‐to‐failure model is presented for the failure mechanism, and both the humidity and temperature dependence are discussed. An exponential humidity acceleration parameter of 0.15 (%RH)−1 and an activation energy of 0.75 eV were determined during this investigation.
