Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) includes depositing an aluminum-containing metal interconnect layer at a first temperature over a semiconductor device having a plurality of transistors. The metal interconnect layer is annealed at a maximum annealing temperature that is less than the first temperature. The metal interconnect layer is patterned after the annealing, thereby interconnecting the transistors.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising performing said annealing in a non-oxidizing ambient.
