Intermetallic compouds for next-generation interconnect materials

Due to resistivity and reliability issues, conventional Cu interconnect faces problems. Intermetallic compounds have been studied as alternative materials for interconnect. Resistivity drops occurs at stoichiometric concentration of intermetallic compound. Metal aluminides such as CoAl, NiAl, CuAl2 are studied.
