Abstract
A method for selecting locations within an integrated circuit device for placing stressors to manage electromigration failures includes calculating an electric current for an interconnect within the integrated circuit device and determining an electromigration stress profile for the interconnect based on the electric current. The method further includes determining an area on the interconnect for placing a stressor to alter the electromigration stress profile for the interconnect.
