摘要: The first nucleated phase in ultrahigh vacuum deposited Ti thin films on silicon has been unambiguously identified utilizing high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) conjunction with optical diffractometry. Ti5Si3 was found to form at the interface of overlayer and amorphous interlayer. For plan‐view specimens samples annealed 450 °C for 30 min, 1 2 h, all 15 silicide diffraction rings corresponding interplanar spacings longer than 0.098 nm could be attributed Ti5Si3. also only that match symmetry lattice HREM images. observation is consistent a kinetic model which predicts crystalline composition structure nearest interlayer will nucleated.
