Abstract Microstructure and its effect on mechanical behavior of ultrafine interconnects have been studied in this paper using a modeling approach. The microstructure from the processes of solidification, spinodal decomposition, and grain growth in ultrafine interconnects has highlighted its importance. The size, geometry and composition of interconnects as well as the elastic energy can influence microstructure and thus the mechanical behavior. Quantification of microstructure in ultrafine interconnects is a necessary step to establish the linkage between microstructure and reliability.

The hardening behavior of precipitation was studied during aging of Fe-Cr alloys. This mechanical behavior is associated with the nanometric modulation structure of the coherent decomposed Fe-rich and Cr-rich phases formed by the spinodal decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution. The growth kinetics of spinodal decomposition was very slow and it increased during coarsening stage. The morphology of decomposed phases consisted of an interconnected irregular shape with no preferential alignment for short aging times and a further aging caused the change to a plate shape of the decomposed Cr-rich phase aligned in the <110> directions of the Fe-rich matrix. The rapid increase in hardness and embrittlement seem to be associated with the coherency and nanometer size of the spinodally-decomposed phases in the aged alloys.

Based on Cahn-Hilliard nonlinear diffusion equation, the phase field model has been established for ternary alloy spinodal decomposition, which directly couples with Calphad thermodynamics and dynamics calculation and takes into account the effect of the coherent elastic energy. The simulated microstructures of spinodal decomposition were carried out in the isothermally-aged of Cu-6at.%Ni-3at.%Si alloy. The results indicate that the spinodal decomposition takes place at the early stage of Cu-6at.%Ni-3at.%Si alloy aging at temperatures of 723K, forming two-phases mixture of Cu-rich and Ni/Si-rich, and the decomposition microstructures are distributed in a semi-interconnected labyrinth-like form. Under the effect of the coherent elastic energy, the decomposition microstructures demonstrate the obvious anisotropic characteristics, and present interconnected rectangular stripes aligned along [10] and [01] directions. The growth of the decomposition microstructures is in accordance with the growth law of growth exponentn≈0.29, slightly less than the LSW’s prediction.

The influence of solution treatment on microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of Cu-20Ni-20Mn alloy was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and hardness test. The results revealed that both solution temperature and holding time had effect on the grain growth behavior. The grain growth activation energy was determined by grain size of Cu-20Ni-20Mn alloy for different heat treatment temperatures and periods. With increasing temperature of solution treatment, the second phase is gradually dissolved into the Cu-rich matrix, and the lattice parameter of the matrix solution treated at 1173K for 0.5 h was about 3.668 Å. The hardness of the solution-treated alloy was lower than that of hot forging, and the hardness value decreased with the increase of solution temperature, which may be attributed to grain size. The hardening ability, corresponding to the Hall-Petch relationship, decreased linearly with D-1/2.
