Abstract:SUMMARYβ-FeSi 2 thin films were grown on Si(111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method using a Nd:YAG laser ( λ = 1064 nm, laser energy = 50 mJ, laser energy density = 1.65 J/cm 2 , repetition frequency = 10 Hz). In the fabrication process, three targets of (a) Fe(5N), (b) FeSi 2 (3N), and (c) Fe(5N) + FeSi 2 (3N) were used. The β-FeSi 2 thin films having the best properties of crystallinity were obtained in the case of (c), in which the first layer as the template was formed with the target of Fe(… Show more
