摘要: Optical emission spectroscopy of sputtered species during ion bombardment, Auger electron and high-resolution transmission microscopy were used to study the cobalt silicon diffusion through interfaces Co/AlO/Si(0 0 1) hetero-structure. The results are discussed as a function annealing temperature sample show that process at starts for temperatures above 200 °C without detectable modification oxide layer.
