Embodiments herein provide methods for forming an aluminum contact on a cobalt silicide junction. The electromagnetic transmissive channel transmits electromagnetic radiation incident upon the calibration surface at a radiation reception port in a first position of the calibration cartridge so that the electromagnetic radiation travels interiorily through the calibration case and exits from the calibration cartridge at a radiation exit aperture in a second position on the calibration surface. The power contacts deliver power to an underside of the IC device and generate heat at the underside of the IC device. Optional low water-level control blades may also be used with the intake. The catalyst may be, for example, a ruthenium carbene complex, such as 1,3-bis–2- dichloro ruthenium.
