This one hour course introduces the simulation of electromigration in semiconductor packaging using ANSYS Mechanical. Participants will learn the fundamentals of electromigration, including current density, Joule heating, temperature rise, and thermal stress. Through guided activities, participants will learn the simulation workflow, from geometry creation and material definition to meshing, physics setup, solver execution, and post-processing. The course concludes with interpreting simulation results to assess electromigration hotspots, and support design optimization.
