Abstract

Epitaxial Ni and Co silicides have been fabricated using pulsed laser melting. Interfacial instabilities and cell formation are suppressed during the liquid-phase epitaxy by melting mono or disilicide layers. Single crystal NiSi2 and CoSi2 films have been grown on (100) and (111) Si following a post-anneal. This method does not require UHV deposition or reaction techniques.
