Abstract
The isothermal test is a promising wafer-level tool to characterize electromigration also in Cu-damascene metallizations, when a correct temperature determination is employed. In this work an improved feedback algorithm is proposed to reduce the observed resistance instability in the stress phase, when the copper structures are approaching the failure
