  • Abstract
    Disruptive alteration of the structure of heat-treated aluminum-copper metallization either containing or contacting silicon is reported. Effects are attributed to eutectic formation in the aluminum-copper-silicon system. Processing temperatures less than 525°C are recommended for aluminum metallization containing copper.
