With the trend towards an increasing integration density, new materials and architectures are constantly being developed to commercialize innovative products. Today, the mechanical reliability of these components, which embedded various natures of materials, has become a crucial concern of the microelectronic industry. In this manuscript, a specific focus was done on the dielectric materials which composes the interconnect levels. Indeed, due to their poor mechanical properties and brittle behavior, most of the failures are the result of cracks in these materials. The challenge was placed in the considered scales (< 0.5 µm), causing many issues for implementing samples and testing mechanical properties. The influence of the environment (tem...
