Abstract

A novel crystal growth technique for NiSi2 epitaxy is presented which utilizes thin silicide (<60Å) template layers to pin the subsequent growth under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Single crystalline NiSi2 films can be grown with either type A or type B orientations on Si(111). Continuous single crystalline NiSi2 is grown on Si(100) with flat interface and uniform thickness.
