The electrical transport properties of β‐FeSi2epitaxial films grown on Si(001) or Si(111) substrates were investigated to clarify the growth‐orientation dependence of the electrical conduction mechanism in the β‐FeSi2epitaxial films with low electron density of ∼1016cm‐3. As temperature was decreased, the transition from band conduction to hopping conduction was observed in both the epitaxial films. The β‐FeSi2on Si(111) film showed the transition at higher temperature than the β‐FeSi2on Si(001). When the epitaxial films were annealed, the transition temperature shifted to lower temperature. The β‐FeSi2on Si(001) film annealed at 800ºC showed the largest electron mobility of 14800 cm2/V·s at 70 K. These results were understood by the conduction through the defect levels in the β‐FeSi2epitaxial films. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
