We conducted stress-induced voiding (SIV) experiments on Cu/low-$k$ interconnect with different upper metal cap layers to evaluate their reliability impact. We showed the cap layer of upper metal had strong effect on the SIV performance. A finite element analysis is applied to simulate the stress fields inside these via test structures. We explained the different SIV performance of these via schemes with the stress results.
