Abstract

An improved method is provided for depositing a thin copper aluminum alloy film on a patterned silicon substrate. A copper base layer conforming to the existing pattern is initially formed on the surface of the substrate, followed by contact with vapors of an aminealane compound, which causes aluminum to be selectively deposited on the copper base layer portion of the substrate. Preferably, copper is applied to a diffusion barrier surface such as tungsten using chemical vapor deposition from a complex of copper (I) perfluoroalkyl-.beta.-diketonate and an olefin or silylolefin. The entire process of developing an alloy film can be carried out without exceeding 200.degree. C.
