Abstract

The epitaxial growth of near noble silicides, including CoSi2, NiSi2, FeSi2, Pd2 Si, and PtSi on (111)Si, by rapid thermal annealing was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Single-crystalline CoSi2 was formed on (111)Si in the solid phase epitaxy regime by a non-ultra-high vacuum method. The effect on gas ambient was found to be of critical importance on the growth of single-crystal CoSi2 on (111)Si. The best NiSi2, FeSi2, Pd2 Si, and PtSi epitaxy grown on (111)Si by rapid thermal annealing were found to be of comparable quality to those grown by conventional furnace annealing.
