Studying the effect of Cu microstructure on electromigration reliability using statistical simulation
Electromigration (EM) describes the mass transport in a metal driven by the momentum transfer from electron scattering with metal ions. This can develop into a degradation process due to void growth for on-chip interconnects when subjected to high electric current densities and eventual …

Models and Techniques for Green High-Performance Computing
… at the allocated power budget. In this dissertation, we develop a series of models and techniques to manage power at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of the system hierarchy, specifically addressing data movement and heterogeneity. We target the chip interconnect at the micro-level, heterogeneous …

Electromigration-Induced Interconnect Aging and its Repercussions on the Performance of Nanometer-Scale VLSI Circuits
Modern electronic machines are powered by the integrated-circuit (IC), a semiconductor device consisting of compact electronic circuits on a silicon substrate. ICs can contain over a billion fundamental computing elements (transistors) that are connected by a network of metal wires called …
