摘要: Solid‐phase reactions in the interfacial region of Ta/(100)Si systems have been studied by x‐ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The metal‐rich silicide Ta5Si3, which has never observed Ta/Si so far, is first nucleated at annealing temperatures 600–650 °C stage reaction. Subsequent 700 °C leads to formation a TaSi2 phase, phase replaced over out‐diffusion Si.
