ABSTRACTEpitaxial growth of NiSi2 and CoSi2 on silicon inside miniature oxide openings by rapid thermal annealing has been studied. Effects of lateral confinement, including two-dimensional and linear oxide openings, as well as deposition methods on the growth of NiSi2 and CoSi2 on silicon were investigated. Vast difference found in the behaviors of the growth of epitaxy inside oxide openings between samples with the metal films deposited by electron beam evaporation and sputtering are attributed to the differences in the geometrical configuration of the films and stress levels as well as surface cleanliness.

A combination of 10 keV 13 C low energy ion implantation and electron beam rapid thermal annealing (EB-RTA) is used to fabricate silicon carbide nanostructures on (100) silicon surfaces. These large ellipsoidal features appear after EB-RTA at 1000°C for 15 s. Prior to annealing, the silicon surfaces are virgin-like flat. Atomic force microscopy was used to study the morphology of these structures and it was found that the diameter and number of nanoboulders are linearly dependent on the implantation fluence. Further, a linear relationship between nanoboulder diameter and spacing suggests crystal coarsening is a fundamental element in the growth mechanism.
