Abstract

Ion beam mixing experiments of Ti-Si layers have been performed with Kr ions of 250 keV energy and doses ranging from 7 1015 to 7 1016 cm-2 at temperatures between liquid nitrogen temperature and 450°C. At substrate temperatures below 120°C no silicide formation could be detected. Only weak mixing at the Ti-Si interface is observed. At temperatures above 120°C the formation of TiSi2 could be verified by Rutherford backscattering and X-ray diffractometry. Layers of TiSi2 produced by ion beam mixing show smooth surfaces in contrast to those prepared by conventional furnace annealing. Those display rough surfaces and interfaces.
