I have found the attached papers to be interesting.
See also this book (especially Chap. 5, Copper in Inorganic
Dielectrics):

All these pertain to copper. I have not found much about gold diffusion
in dielectrics.
RE the detection of surface metal contamination control: TXRF is
excellent. See for example:

BTW, if you find any other interesting paper or book on Cu diffusion in
dielectrics, I would be grateful for the information.
