Abstract
An ultrathin TiN seed layer was used to reduce the transformation temperatu re of C-49 to C-54 TiSi2. The fine-grained structure of C-49 TiSi2 was indu ced by the interposing TiN layer. Since C-54 TiSi2 nucleated more easily at the grain boundaries of fine-grained C-49 structure, the phase transformat ion temperature was reduced. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese rved.
