A semiconductor device comprising a metallized layer formed on a silicon substrate, wherein said metallized layer is an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of aluminum, silicon and at least one element selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, chromium, tungsten, and phosphorus the amount of silicon being 1.0% to 3.0% by weight, the amount of said selected element corresponding to the relative service life required of the metallized layer, said required service life being 10 times that of a metallized layer having the same composition as that of the above-mentioned metallized layer except for being free from said element, and the rest being aluminum. For example, the metallized layer may contain at least 0.04% and less than 0.10% by weight of titanium, 1.0% by weight of silicon, and the rest aluminum.
A semiconductor device comprising a metallized layer formed on a silicon substrate, wherein said metallized layer is an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of aluminum, silicon and at least one element selected from the group consisting of vanadium in an amount of at least 0.06% and less than 0.1% by weight, tungsten in an amount of at least 0.1% and less than 0.3% by weight, and phosphorus in an amount of at least 0.05% and less than 0.12% by weight, the amount of silicon being 1.0% to 3.0% by weight.
A semiconductor device comprising:
A semiconductor device comprising a metallized layer formed on a silicon substrate, wherein said metallized layer is an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of aluminum, 1.0% to 3.0% by weight of silicon and about 0.08% by weight of vanadium.
A semiconductor device comprising a metallized layer formed on a silicon substrate, wherein said metallized layer is an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of aluminum, 1.0% to 3.0% by weight of silicon and about 0.12% by weight of chromium.
