RE: Questions 2 and 5 are related

All I know is that copper diodes were made and used many years ago.
We had a few samples in the 'company museum'. They also made Selenium rectifiers and by the time I left we were making a well regarded line of FREDs.....

What happens IF copper oxide is between good copper and the 'other' connection....say in an interconnect?
Copper oxide will form everywhere......it won't stop at the 'edge' but migrate under.....
Silicon does the same thing, forming a 'birds beak' during early fabrication steps.....

Agreed....IF in Parallel? But if not? Copper is not self passivating so will apparently keep 'growing'.

Too much is never enough
