Abstract

The interfacial reactions in the Zr/Si system were studied by in-situ cross-section TEM including high resolution mode. The reactions consisted of formation of an amorphous interlayer followed by the nucleation and growth of crystalline ZrSi2- The development of the amorphous layer was found to involve two different stages. The ZrSi2 was also found to grow layer-by-layer into the Si via a ledge mechanism.
