Abstract

A ternary compound results from the fast radiative processing of Ni/Ti bilayers on Si<100> substrates. In the Ti-Ni-Si system, Ni is the dominant moving specie at low temperatures while Si starts to diffuse at 575°C. For bilayers with Ti in excess, the final product,above 750°C, is a mixture of ternary compound and TiSi2 whereas excess Ni leads to a layer of NiSi between the substrate and the ternary layer, at tempera-tures below 700° C.
