Abstract: A method of forming a pattern of metallic material on a substrate includes providing a plurality of void regions on a surface of the substrate. At a first temperature, a first layer of a first metallic material of a eutectic-forming pair of metallic materials is deposited on the substrate to form a conformal metallic film over the substrate and over the surfaces of the plurality of void regions. The substrate and conformal metallic film are warmed to a second temperature greater than a eutectic-liquid-formation temperature of the eutectic pair of metallic materials. At the second temperature, the second metallic material of the eutectic-forming pair of metallic materials is deposited on the conformal metallic film to initiate a eutectic-liquid-forming reaction, such that the plurality of void regions are filled with a mixture of the first and second metallic materials of the eutectic-forming pair of metallic materials.
