Preface
Electromigration (EM) in on-chip metal interconnects is a critical reliability-driven failure mechanism in nanometer-scale technologies. Usually, works in the literature that address EM are concerned with power network EM and cell to cell interconnection EM. This work deals with another aspect of the EM problem, the cell-internal EM. This work specifically addresses the problem of electromigration on signal interconnects and on Vdd and Vss rails within a standard cell. There are few studies in the literature addressing this problem, and the ones that can model EM are using a very simple model. To our best knowledge, this is the first work that analyzes, models, and reduces the EM effects on the signals inside cells by projecting the pin placement. In this work, cell-internal EM is modeled incorporating Joule heating effects
