METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTROMIGRATION EVALUATION

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for testing a semiconductor device. The method includes providing an active area in an integrated circuit design layout; grouping the active area into a first region and a second region; calculating a first self-heating temperature of the first region of the active area; calculating a second self-heating temperature of the second region of the active area; and determining an Electromigration (EM) evaluation based on the first self-heating temperature and the second self-heating temperature.
