An electronic device having a first electrode including a metal oxide and a second electrode including an aluminum alloy film and manufacturing technology therefor. The second electrode is directly contacted and electrically connected to the first electrode, wherein, in the contact interface between the aluminum alloy film and said first electrode, at least a part of alloy components constituting the aluminum alloy film exist as a precipitate extending across the contact interface to contact the metal oxide to the aluminum alloy film by the precipitate. This construction enables direct contact between the aluminum alloy film and the electrode consisting of a metallic oxide and allows for elimination of a barrier metal in such an electronic device.
An electronic device comprising:
A sputtering target including an aluminum alloy, said aluminum alloy including at least one element selected from at least one of Ca, Sr, Ba, Sm, Sc, Y, La, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ga, In, Sn and Bi in the range of 0.01 to 6 at %.
