Abstract
Both as-implanted and annealed semiconducting FeSi2 samples fabricated using ion beam synthesis technique were studied by transmission electron microscopy. A continuous buried silicide layer with larger precipitates and sharper interfaces formed during annealing at 900 °C for 18 h. Different orientation relationships between the silicide grains and the silicon substrate were found. The existence of a large variety of parallel lattice plane pairs with the available small mismatches between the two phases results in these preferred orientation relationships.
