What Are Some Common Failure Mechanisms?

Common failure mechanisms in nanodevices include:
Electromigration: The movement of metal atoms under the influence of an electric current can cause circuit failures.
Thermal degradation: High temperatures can accelerate the breakdown of materials and interfaces within the device.
Mechanical stress: Mechanical forces can cause fractures or delamination in nanoscale structures.
Oxidation: Exposure to oxygen can lead to the formation of oxides, which can degrade electrical properties.
