The nucleation and growth kinetics of NiSi_2 precipitation in amorphous silicon thin films ion implanted with nickel was investigated using scanning transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the nucleation rate could be approximately described by a delta function at time t = 0 when the films were annealed between 325 and 400 °C. The growth kinetics of the precipitates at these temperatures were described by r ∝ t ^n, where r was the average radius and n was about 1/3. This behavior is consistent with models for growth of three-dimensional particles in a two-dimensional diffusion field. It was also found that the implanted amorphous films displayed an enhanced rate of single crystal silicon formation, apparently catalyzed by migrating silicide precipitates.
