Abstract

Epitaxy of CoSi2 layers on Si crystal surfaces can be strongly influenced by growing appropriate template layers. The electronic structure of thin (∼7Å) epitaxial CoSi2 films on Si(100) has been studied with angle-resolved photoemission to investigate atomic bonding in the layers and at their boundaries. Most Co atoms in the layers are in a CoSi2-like environment, including those Co atoms near the free surface. Cobalt atoms at the Si-CoSi 2 interface seem to have fewer Si neighbors.
