Results for tag: "Electromigration"

Electromigration is a phenomenon in electrical engineering where the movement of electrons through a conductor causes the atoms in the conductor to migrate, resulting in a change in the conductor's properties. This phenomenon is most commonly observed in integrated circuits, where the movement of electrons can cause the conductor to become thinner, leading to an increase in resistance and a decrease in current carrying capacity. Electromigration can also cause voids to form in the conductor, leading to an increase in resistance and a decrease in current carrying capacity. The Electromigration market is a subset of the electrical engineering industry, focused on the development of technologies and products to mitigate the effects of electromigration. This includes the development of materials and processes that reduce the effects of electromigration, as well as the development of testing and monitoring systems to detect and diagnose electromigration-related issues. Some companies in the Electromigration market include Applied Materials, KLA Corporation, and Lam Research. Show Less Read more
