You may want to evaluate Nickel as well. Xing Yangwrote: In Au metalization process, the common adhesion layer Cr or Ti tends to diffuse through the Au layer, especially at high temperatures. A quick Google search shows that Pt or Pd has been commonly used as the diffusion barrier layer. I wonder if anyone has done any experiments or know any published papers on this topic. I am looking for information on what the diffusion barrier layers and their thicknesses have been tried and how effective they are. Any info will be appreciated.
