The void growth and drift motion induced by the combined actions of the phase transformation (evaporation and condensation) and surface drift diffusion driven by the capillary and electromigration forces and thermal-stress gradients are investigated in passivated metallic thin films and flip-chip solder joints via computer simulation using the front-tracking method. As far as the device reliability is concerned, the most critical configuration for solder joint failure occurs even when thermal stresses are low if the void nucleation takes place close to the under bump metallurgy (UBM) where the heat and current flux crowding takes place due to the proximity effect associated with the confinement. The void growth induced by the condensation of excess (athermal) vacancies at the void-matrix dividing surface results in drastic spreading of pre-existing voids along transverse direction of solder joint due to the concurrently occurring heat and current crowding adjacent to the UBM. This accelerated transverse void spreading may eventually cause open-circuit interconnect failure as clearly demonstrated experimentally in literature. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

Morphological evolution of voids by surface drift diffusion driven by capillary, electromigration, and thermal-stress gradients induced by steady-state heat flow in passivated metallic thin films and flip chip solder joints. I. Theory Ogurtani, Tarik Omer; Akyildiz, Oncu (AIP Publishing, 2008-07-15) The morphological evolution of intragranular voids induced by surface drift diffusion under the actions of capillary and electromigration (EM) forces and thermal-stress gradients (TSGs) associated with steady-state heat flow is investigated in passivated metallic thin films and flip chip solder joints via computer simulation using the front-tracking method. In the mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamic formulation of the generalized driving forces for the thermal-stress-induced surface drift diffusion, not...
Grain boundary grooving induced by the anisotropic surface drift diffusion driven by the capillary and electromigration forces: Simulations Akyildiz, Oncu; Ogurtani, Tarik Omer (AIP Publishing, 2011-08-15) The morphological evolution kinetics of a bicrystal thin film induced by anisotropic surface drift diffusion and driven by the applied electrostatic field is investigated via self consistent dynamical computer simulations. The physico-mathematical model, which is based upon the irreversible thermodynamic treatment of surfaces and interfaces with singularities [T. O. Ogurtani, J. Chem. Phys. 124, 144706 (2006)], provided us with auto-control on the otherwise free-motion of the triple junction at the intersec...
Surface morphological evolution on single crystal films by strong anisotropic drift diffusion under capillary and electromigration forces Ogurtani, Tarik Omer; Celik, Aytac (AIP Publishing, 2006-08-15) The morphological evolution of voids at unpassivated surfaces and the sidewalls of single crystal metallic films is investigated via computer simulations by using a mathematical model based on fundamental postulates of irreversible thermodynamics. The effect of drift-diffusion anisotropy on the development of surface morphological scenarios is explored under the action of electromigration (EM) and capillary forces, utilizing numerous combinations of the surface texture and the direction of the applied elect...
Theoretical investigation of charge accumulation layer on the Bi-induced InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface Ozkaya, S.; Usanmaz, D.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Alkan, B.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (AIP Publishing, 2014-04-28) Based on pseudopotential method and density functional theory, we have investigated the stability, atomic geometry, and detailed electronic structures for Bi adsorbates on the InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface with three different sites: (i) T-4 (Bi trimer centered on T-4 site), (ii) H-3 (Bi trimer centered on H-3 site), and (iii) T-4-H-3 (which is formed by trimers with opposite orientations: one centered on a T-4 site and the other on a H-3). Our total energy calculations suggest that adsorption on the T-4-H-3 si...
Defect-controlled transport properties of metallic atoms along carbon nanotube surfaces Barinov, Alexei; Toffoli, Hande; Fabris, Stefano; Gregoratti, Luca; Aballe, Lucia; Dudin, Pavel; Baroni, Stefano; Kiskinova, Maya (American Physical Society (APS), 2007-07-01) The diffusion mechanism of indium atoms along multiwalled carbon nanotubes is studied by means of photoemission spectromicroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The unusually high activation temperature for diffusion (approximate to 700 K), the complex C 1s and In 3d(5/2) spectra, and the calculated adsorption energies and diffusion barriers suggest that the indium transport is controlled by the concentration of defects in the C network and proceeds via hopping of indium adatoms between C vacan...
