Abstract

By first growing NiSi2 precipitates in a-Si and then irradiating with a 150 keV Si beam, we have studied ion beam induced epitaxial crystallization (IBIEC) of Si initiated at a-Si/NiSi2 precipitate interfaces. The growth shape and its temperature dependence are studied in-beam via in situ transmission electron microscopy. Interface roughening is evidenced. Preliminary results for the Co-Si system are also reported.
