Growth of epitaxial iron disilicide on Si(100)
نویسنده
چکیده
The growth of epltaxiai FeSi 2 on Si(100) substrate; under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions has been achteved using two different methods: molecular beam epitaxy and the "template layer" method. The siliclde layers have been characterized by surface sensmve techniques such as Auger electron spectroscopy, electron er~ergy loss spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffractton.

Molecular beam allotaxy: a new approach to epitaxial heterostructures
The present status of a new epitaxial growth method, named molecular beam allotaxy (MBA), is reviewed. The method allows one to grow single-crystalline heterostructures in a new way; that is, the desired layer forms during annealing of a precipitate layer. The precipitates are embedded within a single-crystalline matrix, grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The key point is that the epitaxial growt...
متن کاملSegregation and trapping of erbium during silicon molecular beam epitaxy
Erbium surface segregation is observed during growth of Er-doped Si by molecular beam epitaxy on Si~100! at 600 °C. Once a critical Er surface areal density of 2310 Er/cm is reached, enhanced Er trapping is observed, possibly due to the formation of silicide precipitates. Er segregation on Si~100! is fully avoided when growth is performed in an oxygen background pressure of ; 10 mbar, due to th...
متن کاملEpitaxial ternary RexMo1-xSi2 thin films on Si(100)
Reactive deposition epitaxy was used to synthesize thin layers of RexMo1 _ _x8i2 on Si(lOO). In the case of x= 1, ReSi2 layers of excellent crystalline quality have been reported previously [J. E. Mahan, K. M. Geib, G. Y. Robinson, R. G. Long, Y. Xinghua, G. Bai, and M.-A. Nicolet, Appl. Phys. Lett. 56, 2439 ( 1990) ]. In the case of x = 0, however, virtually no alignment of the MoSi2 and the s...
متن کاملCo silicide formation on SiGeC/Si and SiGe/Si layers
The reaction of Co with epitaxial SiGeC/Si layers is investigated and compared to the reaction of Co with SiGe/Si layers. The sequence of phase formation is the same as the reaction of Co with monocrystalline Si, however, cobalt disilicide is formed at much higher temperatures. The presence of C further delays the disilicide formation, as a result of C accumulation at the silicide/substrate int...
متن کاملControl of Domain Size and Doping of Barium Disilicide Epitaxial Thin Films for Earth-abundant High-efficiency Solar Cells
IMR KINKEN Research Highlights 2012 Orthorhombic barium disilicide (BaSi2) has been proposed as a promising, novel candidate for high-efficiency thin-film solar cells owing to its large absorption coefficient of 105 cm-1 at 1.5 eV [1] and bandgap that is tunable to 1.4 eV by substituting half of the Ba sites with isoelectronic Sr atoms [2]. A base layer only 1 μm thick is considered sufficient ...
