摘要
Growth behavior of epitaxial CoSi2(001) films on clean Si(001) surfaces and oxidized Si(001) surfaces with oxygen coverages below 2 ML has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. In the solid-phase epitaxy of 3 ML-thick Co on clean Si surfaces at 530 degrees C, rectangular-shaped CoSi2(001) three-dimensional (3D) islands elongated along the <110) direction were grown on thermally stable two-dimensional layers of CoSi2(001). This fact suggests that the CoSi2/Si(001) epitaxial growth obeys a Stranski-Krastanov-like mode. The shape of 3D islands is considered to be explained by energetics to reduce the surface energy of CoSi2. Moreover, it is found that oxygen atoms act as a kind of surfactant to lower the surface energy of CoSi2. Almost pinhole-free and atomically-hat epitaxial CoSi2(001) films with a thickness of 6 ML can be realized by solid-phase epitaxy under the condition of an annealing temperature of 470 degrees C and oxygen coverages of 1-2 ML.
