Abstract

Room-temperature electromigration occurs in a thin stripe of eutectic SnPb solder stressed by a current density of 10[sup5] amp/cm[sup2]. Hillocks and voids grow at the anode and the cathode, respectively. While the dominant diffusion species in Sn in this two-phase alloy, the growth of the hillocks, surprisingly, originates from the Pb grains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
