Electromigration Videos

The following videos illustrate electromigration under accelerated stress testing. They were taken in John Bravman's lab at Stanford University using a scanning electron microscope. You will see voids form and move due to electromigraton. The color is a measure of the thickness of the conducting metal. Blue is thick and red is no conductor at all. The videos are in the .avi format and can be displayed with the RealOne Player.
