Abstract

Epitaxial single-domain CoSi2(100) layers were grown on Si(100) by use of a template technique. In-situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) were used for a detailed surface study. The (√2×√2)R45 reconstruction of the Co-rich “C-surface” and the (3√2×√2)R45 as well as a newly discovered (√2×√2)R45 of the Si-rich “S-surface” were resolved in real space and are discussed in detail. The transition from the C- to the S-surface above 500 °C is related to a (2×2) reconstruction.
