C49-TiSi2 Epitaxial Orientation Dependence of the C49-to-C54 Phase Transformation Rate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Effects of the C49-TiSi2 epitaxial orientation on the C49-to-C54 phase transformation rate have been studied for samples with different pre-amorphization implantation (PAI) conditions. The C49 epitaxial orientation to the Si(001) substrate is characterized by use of grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. We found that the PAl treatment suppresses the epitaxial growth of C49-TiSi2 on Si(001) substrates and the poorer orientational alignment of C49-TiSi2 causes a more rapid transformation to C54-TiSi2. We believe this suppression of epitaxial alignment is a possible mechanism to understand the effect of the PAl treatment on the C49-C54 transformation.
