The kinetics of a thin-film, solid-state reaction were investigated in the spinel-forming oxide system Fe2O3/MgO. In this study, epitactic thin films of Fe2O3 (α, or corundum, structure) were deposited on (001)-oriented MgO using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). The resulting diffusion couples were then reacted at elevated temperatures in air to induce the reaction between the thin-film and bulk substrate to form the spinel, MgFe2O4. Both the as-deposited and reacted diffusion couples were characterized using low-voltage scanning and transmission electron microscopy. These techniques allow the kinetics of the reaction and the structural properties of the spinel to be investigated.

AbstractSilicide formation and growth are studied in three geometries: conventional planar thin films, lateral diffusion couples formed by depositing metal layers on Si islands, and device geometry couples formed by depositing metal on oxide-patterned Si substrates. The influence of impurities is studied by implanting arsenic and krypton into conventional and device geometry structures.Here we present growth kinetics of CrSi2 where the presence of impurities has a strong influence. Si transport dominates in disilicide formation and leads to erosion of contacts around the periphery of oxide windows. Implantation of arsenic suppresses CrSi 2 formation; with krypton implantation, the growth kinetics shifts from linear to square-root in character. We attribute these results to impurity segregation at interfaces or grain boundaries.
