X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (Xafs) Studies Of Cobalt Silicide Thin Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Cobalt silicide thin films, prepared on Si(100) wafers, have been studied by X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) at the Si K-, L2,3 and Co K-edges utilizing both total electron (TEY) and fluorescence yield (FLY) detection as well as extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) at the Co K-edge. Samples made using DC sputter deposition on clean Si surfaces and MBE were studied along with a bulk CoSi2 sample. XANES and EXAFS provide information about the electronic structure and morphology of the films. It was found that the films studied have essentially the same structure as bulk CoSi2. Both the spectroscopy and materials characterization aspects of XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structures) are discussed.
