We have performed high-dose iron (Fe) ion implantation into a single crystalline silicon (Si) substrate in order to synthesize a β-FeSi2∕Si heterostructure. Si(001) substrates were implanted with 120keV Fe ions at 623K to a fluence of 4×1017∕cm2, followed by thermal annealing at temperatures ranging from 773to1073K. Implantation-induced microstructures as well as annealing-induced ones were examined by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in combination with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Grazing-incidence XRD and cross-sectional TEM observations indicated that a continuous iron silicide layer consisting of e-FeSi and β-FeSi2 is formed in as-implanted samples. With increasing annealing temperature the e-FeSi phase transformed into the β-FeSi2 one, and finally a continuous β-FeSi2 polycrystalline layer was formed on the topmost layer of the Si substrate. Pole figure XRD measurements revealed that the β-FeSi2 crystallites are not randomly oriented but possess a ...
