Abstract

The method dependence of iron silicide grown on Si(111) was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The iron silicide films grown by two different methods (solid-phase epitaxy and reactive deposition epitaxy) were compared at a small-film-thickness region below 1 nm. The surface morphology strongly depends on the growth method, which suggests that the strain in the interface region is affected by the growth method.
