T. Ichinokawa et al., RECONSTRUCTED STRUCTURES IN METAL SI(100) SURFACES AT HIGH-TEMPERATURE OBSERVED BY SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY, Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures processing, measurement and phenomena, 12(3), 1994, pp. 2070-2073
Reconstructed structures of metal on Si(100)2X1 surfaces annealed at h
igh temperature have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscop
y as functions of the type of metal, coverage, and annealing temperatu
re. The reconstruction mechanisms at high temperature depend on the ty
pe of metal. In.the present paper, the formation mechanisms of reconst
ruction at high temperature are classified briefly into three categori
es and are discussed qualitatively.
