Dedicated MEMS-based test structure for 3D SiP interconnects reliability investigation

This paper discusses important aspects of development process of dedicated test vehicles designed for investigation on thin metal layers reliability by a novel Accelerated Thermo-Mechanical Ageing method (ATMA) [1] being developed now. It is an ongoing research report presenting current state of the R&D works, investigation on ATMA usefulness and its applicability to interconnect reliability evaluation.
