Electromigration & Wire-Lifetime Simulator

Model whether a metal interconnect survives its target lifetime under electromigration — then run it: the simulation executes on the ChipFoundryServices distributed compute pool. Current crowds the metal at a current density J = I / (w·t); the electron wind sweeps atoms downstream and grows voids at the cathode. Black's law gives the median time-to-failure MTTF = A·J−n·exp(Ea/kT), anchored here to a reference design point so it reads as an acceleration factor. Short lines are EM-immortal: a back-stress gradient (the Blech effect) cancels the electron wind once the current-length product J·L falls below a critical threshold. Inverting Black's law gives the current-density budget Jmax(T) — the largest J that still meets the target lifetime at a given metal temperature. The node returns the current density, the median lifetime, the Blech immortal length, the acceleration factor and the Jmax budget — sweeping current density to expose the lifetime knee and temperature to expose the budget. Reduced-order educational model.

Median lifetime MTTF (log axis) vs current density J (log axis). Lifetime falls steeply as J rises (Black's J−n); below the Blech threshold the line is immortal (flat ceiling). The line fails once MTTF drops under the dashed red target lifetime; the marker (●) is your current J, and the dashed vertical is the Jmax budget
Left: the current-density budget Jmax(T) — the largest J meeting the target lifetime falls as the metal heats (Arrhenius). The rail is safe when the operating point (●) sits under the curve. Right: the EM budget — current density, lifetime demand and Blech length as a share of their limits (100 % = at the edge)
