Semiconductor-metal composites, formed by the eutectic solidification of silicon and a metal silicide have been under investigation for some time for a number of electronic device applications. This composite system is comprised of a silicon matrix containing extended metal-silicide rod-shaped structures aligned in parallel throughout the material. The average diameter of such a rod in a typical system is about 1 μm. Thus, characterization of the rod morphology by electron microscope methods is necessitated.The types of morphometric information that may be obtained from such microscopic studies coupled with image processing are (i) the area fraction of rods in the matrix, (ii) the average rod diameter, (iii) an average circularity (roundness), and (iv) the number density (Nd;rods/cm2). To acquire electron images of these materials, a digital image processing system (Tracor Northern 5500/5600) attached to a JEOL JXA-840 analytical SEM has been used.

We demonstrated a new fabrication method of Pt- and Ni-silicide nanodots with an areal density of the order of ~1011 cm-2 on SiO2 through the process steps of ultrathin metal film deposition on pre-grown Si-QDs and subsequent remote H2 plasma treatments at room temperature. Verification of electrical separation among silicide nanodots was made by measuring surface potential changes due to electron injection and extraction using an AFM/Kelvin probe technique. Photoemission measurements confirm a deeper potential well of silicide nanodots than Si-QDs and a resultant superior charge retention was also verified by surface potential measurements after charging to and discharging. Also, the advantage in many electron storage per silicide nanodot was demonstrated in C-V characteristics of MIS capacitors with silicide nanodots FGs.

Wear-resistant Cu-based solid-solution-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy with a microstructure consisting of predominantly the dual-phase primary dendrites with a Cr5Si3 core encapsulated by CrSi phase and a small amount of interdendritic Cu-based solid solution (Cuss) was designed and fabricated by the laser melting process using Cr–Si–Cu elemental powder blends as the precursor materials. The microstructure of the Cuss-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy was characterized by optical microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The Cuss-toughened silicide alloys have excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction under room temperature dry sliding wear test conditions with hardened 0.45% C carbon steel as the sliding–mating counterpart.
