Abstract

A metallization alloy for semiconductor devices comprising aluminum, copper, and tungsten is provided. In a method for applying the metallization, the metal is sputtered onto a semiconductor substrate having devices formed therein. After deposition, the metallization is patterned and etched using conventional semiconductor photoresist and etch techniques.
