Abstract

The microstructure and properties of thin films depends strongly upon the alloy composition. A study was made of the metallurgical aspects of homogeneous Al alloy films, particularly the binary Al-Ti and the ternary Al-Ti-Si systems. Electrical resistivity, grain size morphology, second phase formation and electromigration have been studied as a function of the alloy composition and its heat treatment.
