Abstract
The thin films of gold which are applied so extensively in electronic devices are normally deposited over thin films of other metals in two, three or even four component metallization systems. The problems arising in such systems are vividly illustrated in this article on the gold/chromium metallization system developed in large measure at the Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Keywords
