In semiconductor integrated circuit and device fabrication interconnect metallization is accomplished by a clad Ag deposited on a SiO2 level on a Si surface. The clad Ag has a layer of an alloy of Ag and Al (5 atomic %) contacting the SiO2, a layer of substantially pure Ag and an outer layer of the Ag and Al alloy. The alloy improves adhesion to the SiO2, avoids agglomeration of the Ag, reduces or eliminates diffusion at the SiO2 surface, reduces electromigration and presents a passive exterior surface.
