Paper Abstract

Two different electron microscopy techniques were used to study a Ru/Si multilayer (ML) film. The structure of the multilayer was characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The multilayer compositional profile and its thermal stability were studied by using high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) microscopy. Initially, the Ru/Si ML was found to have a well-defined multilayer structure. After annealing of the sample at 150 degree(s)C for 30 minutes, we observed that the Ru and Si layers were highly interdiffused with large Ru silicide crystals being formed in the multilayer film.
