Patent number: 9157938Abstract: A method of computing a peak current density specification (jpeakspec) for an electrical conductor line of an integrated circuit (IC) resulting from conducting pulsed electrical current represented as a current waveform. An on-time (ton) is identified for the current waveform based on a current density being greater than or equal to (?) a predetermined current density level. The jpeakspec is computed for the electrical conductor line using a jpeakspec modeling equation which includes the ton for the current waveform and a thermal time constant (?) for the electrical conductor line.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2012Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Young-Joon Park, Siva Prakash Gurrum

Patent number: 9030216Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments provide probes, systems and methods for measuring an effective electrical resistance/resistivity with high sensitivity. In one embodiment, the measuring system can include an upper probe set and a similar lower probe set having a sample device sandwiched there-between. The device-under-test (DUT) samples can be sandwiched between two conductors of the sample device. Each probe set can have an inner voltage sense probe coaxially configured inside an electrically-isolated outer current source probe that has a large contact area with the sample device. The measuring system can also include a computer readable medium for storing circuit simulations including such as FEM simulations for extracting a bulk through-plane electrical resistivity and an interface resistivity for an effective electrical z-resistivity of the DUT, in some cases, having sub-micro-ohm resistance.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Michael Anthony Lamson, Siva Prakash Gurrum, Rajiv Dunne
