Equipment Details

Conducting structure are loaded with an electrical current and, if applicable, a higher temperature. To reduce so called "Joules heating" a pulsed and puls width modulated electrical load can be used. After a subsequent metallographic preparation degradation can be investigated and classified as a result of electromigration resp. thermal migration.
