Abstract

The growth kinetics of Al-Cu intermetallic compounds (IMC) have been investigated on thin film couples and bonded samples in the range 150°C to 250°C using XRD, SEM/EDX and in-situ interface resistance monitoring. Individual diffusion constants D o and activation energies E a (1.01eV, 0.97eV, 1.23eV, 1.28eV) have been obtained from thin film couples for the main three IMC phases Al 4 Cu 9 , AlCu and Al 2 Cu, and for the total IMC growth, respectively. Two additional phases (Al 3 Cu 2 , Al 0.06 Cu 0.94 ) contribute to the total IMC growth at T ≥ 200°C, but do not form at lower temperatures. Lower activation energies of 1.13eV (thin film) and 1.05eV (bonded samples) have thus been derived for T
