Abstract

The results are discussed of the characterization by means of TEM, RBS and XRD of ErSi2-x layers prepared by ion beam synthesis on (111) silicon. It will be shown that high quality (buried) layers can be prepared by channelled implantation of the erbium, whereas unchannelled implantation leads to discontinuous polycrystalline surface layers. The epitaxial growth and vacancy ordering in the silicide are discussed.
