Abstract

The Er-Si interface has been studied using XPS, UPS and glancing incidence XRD. Room temperature investigations of the evolving Er-Si interface reveal a two step reaction. Initially reacted clusters of silicon rich silicide form. At higher coverages, metal rich Er5Si3 formation takes place. High temperature annealing leads to stable disilicide formation at the interface.
