β¦ Synopsis
In this article we present microstructural investigations of electrodeposited CuAg-alloy metallization thin films. The deposition was carried out on Si(100) / SiO / Ta / TaN / Cu-seed substrates at room temperature without any additives. It was 2 found that the mean grain size decreases with increasing dc current density whereas a dependence on the Ag content was not observed. Additionally the crystalline structure and, particularly, the formation of CuAg-solid solutions and grain boundary segregation is discussed on the basis of XRD measurements. The Ag content within a supersaturated copper matrix increases with increasing dc current density.

In the present study, the electrodeposition of Fe, Pd and Fe-Pd alloys, in alkaline solutions, has been investigated. Using ammonium hydroxide and trisodium citrate as the complexing agents, it has been shown that the co-deposition of Fe and Pd is achieved due to diminishing the difference between t
