    An improved one dimensional (1-D) nonlinear model of the thermal response of the Standard Wafer-level Electromigration Accelerated test (SWEAT) structure is described. The major improvement in this ... model are accurate predictions of the critical current density ▫$j_o$▫; according to older models ▫$j_o$▫ is inversely proportional to the "power" ▫$I^2R/R(T_s)$▫, while our model shows a different (increasing) trend and is confirmed by measurements. The ratio of the maximum temperature increase to the average temperature increase ▫$(\gamma)$▫ for the investigated structure depends on the relative change of the resistance and normalized current ▫${A_o}^1/2 = I/I_{no}$▫, and can be calculated within 1% from basic material and structure parameters. The model includes the edge correction factor ▫$\alpha$▫ depending on the geometry of the structure ▫$(W_n/t_i)$▫ material parameters and stress current I. Using the corrected values for the edge correction factor, the maximum temperature increase in the SWEAT test structure can be calculated within less than 5°C.
