摘要
The growth and structural characterization of epitaxial erbium silicide on the (100)Si substrate are studied by transmission electron microscopy, reflection high-energy electron diffraction, and X-ray diffractometry. Erbium silicides (ErSi2-x) grow by annealing above 400-degrees-C after the deposition of Er film. The ErSi2-x film consists of two types of domains which have two different azimuthal orientations making an angle of 90-degrees to each other. The epitaxial relationships between the hexagonal ErSi2-x film and the (100)Si substrate are [0001]ErSi2-x parallel-to [011BAR]Si and [0001]ErSi2-x parallel-to [011BAR]Si in the (1100BAR)ErSi2-x parallel-to (100)Si plane relation. The two types of domains in the ETSi2-x film are equivalent in volume fraction and crystalline quality, which has been proved from the equivalent integrated intensities of (2201BAR) asymmetric reflection of X-ray diffraction.
