Abstract

Using mesotaxy, a technique which involves high dose implantation followed by high temperature annealing, we have created narrow wires of CoSi2 buried beneath the surface of a silicon wafer. The implantation masks are fabricated directly on the silicon substrate using high resolution electron beam lithography in combination with reactive ion etching. TEM analysis shows that the wires are single-crystal and oriented with the substrate with very abrupt interfaces. The electrical continuity of the wires has been confirmed with electron-beam-induced current measurements.
