It is sometimes desirable to modify the final layout of a completed vlsi physical design to obtain better yield andor electrical performance. Because em is a strong function of current density, a smaller crosssectional area of interconnects can degrade the emrelated lifetime of ic, which is expected to become more severe in future technology nodes. It occurs when the current density is high enough to cause the drift of metal ions in the direction of the electron flow, and is characterized by the ion flux density.
