Please email jens.lienig [at] ifte.de if you find any errors.

• p. 17 (last line of first paragraph): The relation symbol is incorrect: ">10⁻³ A/cm²" should be "<10⁻³ A/cm²" (current densities less than 10⁻³ A/cm²).

• p. 76, Fig. 3.6: The depicted current sum is not zero as not all terminals are shown (partial net).

• p. 76 (Example): For consistency, the "+" sign should be added to "1.8 mA".

Errata (1st edition)

Please email jens.lienig [at] ifte.de if you find any errors.

Following the convention that compressive stress is defined as negative and tensile stress as positive, the following two changes are required:

• p. 17 (first paragraph): The relation symbol is incorrect: ">10⁻³ A/cm²" should be "<10⁻³ A/cm²".

• p. 35 (last paragraph) and p. 37 (first paragraph of 2.5.2): "negative mechanical tension gradient" should be replaced by "positive mechanical tension gradient".

• p. 42, Eq. 2.17: the "negative sign" of the right side term should be omitted as follows:
  
  

• p. 73, Fig. 3.5: The depicted current sum is not zero as not all terminals are shown (partial net).

• p. 73 (Example): For consistency, the "+" sign should be added to "1.8 mA".

• p. 105 (segment definition): Please note that (contrary to our definition of a segment here and in Fig. 4.5) the short-length effect (a.k.a. Blech product (jL)) is only applicable to segments which are bordered by diffusion barriers at both ends. There must not be any connected segments within the same metal layer as they would add to the total hydrostatic stress and, thus, impact the EM assessment.
