Abstract

In-situ observations of the growth of CoSi2 films by Co deposition in an ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscope are described. Results include the observation of intermediate epitaxial phases (both hexagonally distorted Co2Si and CoSi) and the observation that pinholes nucleate in CoSi2 films after growth in a metastable layer mode.
