Abstract

The atomic structure of A- and B-type CoSi2/Si (111) interfaces has been investigated by observations of samples in cross-section using a 400 kV high-resolution electron microscope. The samples were prepared by UHV e–beam evaporation of Co layers followed by annealing at temperatures between 300°C and 500°C. Based upon image simulations for various interface bonding models we have found evidence for 7–fold Co coordination at the A–type CoSi2/Si interfaces and for 7– and 8–fold coordination at the B-type interfaces.
