Abstract

Interfacial reactions between SrRuO3 films and Si substrate were investigated by using field emission-transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM). The compositional and structural variations across the interface were analyzed by using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffraction with an electron probe in 0.5 nm in diameter. Two constituent binary oxides of SrRuO3, i.e. SrO and RuO2, were found to react differently on Si surface: 1) SrO in stable contact with Si, and 2) RuO2 in unstable contact. The reduction of SrRuO3 to elemental Ru by Si is believed to be most favorable candidate for the reaction leading to the unstable contact of SrRuO3 on Si.
