摘要
The structural and electronic properties of thin lanthanide-silicide films on silicon surfaces are studied using scanning-tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. Lanthanide-silicide layers on n-type Si(l 11) are known for their relatively low band bending, We demonstrate that in the monolayer regime even flat bands can be achieved in the Si-substrate. This condition can be conserved upon further Si-deposition, enabling to exploit the flat-band behavior for low-resistance contacts. While a layered epitaxial growth is predominant on Si(111), we observed a self-organized formation of highly homogeneous nanowires on Si(001). Depending on growth conditions, two different types of nanowires with lengths exceeding 2000 A can be formed.
