摘要
Endotaxial growth of self-assembled alpha-FeSi2 nanowires (NWs) on (100)Si has been achieved by combining reactive deposition epitaxy and nitride-mediated epitaxy. The length and the length/width aspect ratio of metallic alpha-FeSi2 NWs could be increased more than 12 and 6 folds to 2 mu m, and 200 respectively, with a narrow width of 5-10 nm after prolonged annealing. The adjustment capability is attributed to the diminished flux of Fe adatoms mediated by the Si3N4 barrier layer to allow more complete shape transition. The scheme represents a degree of control on the morphology of self-assembled epitaxial silicide NWs not achievable otherwise. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
