A bonding structure and a copper bonding wire for semiconductor device include a ball-bonded portion formed by bonding to the aluminum electrode a ball formed on a front end of the copper bonding wire. After being heated at any temperature between 130° C. and 200° C., the ball-bonded portion exhibits a relative compound ratio R1 of 40-100%, the relative compound ratio R1 being a ratio of a thickness of a Cu—Al intermetallic compound to thicknesses of intermetallic compounds that are composed of Cu and Al and formed on a cross-sectional surface of the ball-bonded portion.

A composite oxygen ion transport element that has a layered structure formed by a dense layer to transport oxygen ions and electrons and a porous support layer to provide mechanical support. The dense layer can be formed of a mixture of a mixed conductor, an ionic conductor, and a metal. The porous support layer can be fabricated from an oxide dispersion strengthened metal, a metal-reinforced intermetallic alloy, a boron-doped Mo5Si3-based intermetallic alloy or combinations thereof. The support layer can be provided with a network of non-interconnected pores and each of said pores communicates between opposite surfaces of said support layer. Such a support layer can be advantageously employed to reduce diffusion resistance in any type of element, including those using a different material makeup than that outlined above.

The present invention provides a method for forming a refractory metal-intermetallic composite. The method includes providing a first powder comprising a refractory metal suitable for forming a metal phase; providing a second powder comprising a silicide precursor suitable for forming an intermetallic phase; blending the first powder and the second powder to form a powder blend; consolidating and mechanically deforming the powder blend at a first temperature; and reacting the powder blend at a second temperature to form the metal phase and the intermetallic phase of the refractory metal-intermetallic composite, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
