  • Abstract
    Si in Al-Si alloy are precipitated during heat treatment. If process conditions are not appropriate, they grow more than lum, and become causes of some troubles. The size of these "Si nodule" is determined by metallization process conditions. Electromigration tests as a parameter of Si nodule size showed that large Si nodule degraded the reliability of metallization.
