ABSTRACT:
Novel metal-alloy interconnections for integrated circuits. The metal-alloy interconnections of the present invention comprise a substantial portion of either copper or silver alloyed with a small amount of an additive having a low residual resistivity and solid solubility in either silver or copper such that the resultant electrical resistivity is less than 3 .mu..OMEGA.-cm.
