Yh. Yin et al., Effect of annealing temperature on the formation of silicides and the surface morphologies of PtSi films, J MAT SCI T, 17(1), 2001, pp. 39-40
The effect of annealing temperature on the formation of the PtSi phase, dis
tribution of silicides and the surface morphologies of silicides films is i
nvestigated by XPS, AFM. It is shown that the phase sequences of the films
change from Pt Pt2Si-PtSi-Si to Pt+Pt2Si+PtSi-PtSi-Si or Pt+Pt2S+PtSi-PtSi-
Si with an increase of annealing temperature and the reason for the formati
on of mixed layers is discussed.
