Abstract

Thin films of (100) oriented CoSi 2 have been electron beam evaporated onto Si(100) substrates from a mixed Co-Si target. A sharp c(2×2) low energy electron diffraction (LEED) pattern resulted after annealing the films to 800 °C. Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of the film indicated the phase to be CoSi 2. Quantitative x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed the surface of the film to be slightly Si rich, indicating the Si terminated CoSi 2 variant. Analysis of transmission electron microscope (TEM) diffraction patterns also provided evidence of the (100) orientation of the film.
