ABSTRACTCobalt 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.

ABSTRACTOptical luminescence in porous silicon induced by soft X-ray and vacuum UV excitation with energies in the vicinity of the Si K-edge (1838 eV) and the Si L-edge (99 eV) has been observed. The luminescence has been used, together with total electron yield, to record X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the near-edge region of both Si edges. The near- edge spectra recorded simultaneously with either luminescence or total electron yield were compared, and the implications of these measurements for the structure of porous silicon are discussed.

We report a Si K-edge X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) study of silicon monoxide (SiO), the starting material for silicon nanowire preparation, its silicon nanowires, and the residue after the preparation of the starting material. The silicon nanowires were condensed onto three different substrates, (i) the wall of the furnace quartz tube, (ii) a porous silicon substrate, and (iii) a Si(100) silicon wafer. It was found that the Si K-edge XAFS of SiO exhibits identifiable spectral features characteristic of Si in 0 and 4 oxidation states as well as in intermediate oxidation states, while the SiO residue primarily shows features of Si(0) and Si(4). The XAFS suggest that SiO is not exactly a simple mixture of Si and SiO2. The silicon nanowires produced by the process exhibit morphology and luminescence property variations that depend on the nature of the substrate. X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) at the O K-edge suggests an efficient energy transfer to the optical decay channel. The results and their implications are discussed.Key words: silicon nanowires, thermal evaporation, silicon monoxide, X-ray absorption fine structures, X-ray excited optical luminescence.
