Popis: The reaction of Ni with Ge, Si 0.75 Ge 0.25 and Si using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and in-situ annealing method at 400°C produces different phases, as revealed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A uniform film of nickel germanide (NiGe) was formed at 400°C for the Ni reaction with Ge using the in-situ annealing technique, whereas Ni 3 Ge 2 and NiGe phases were found using the RTA method. For the reaction between Ni and Si, a highly textured NiSi film was obtained at 400°C for RTA whereas Ni 3 Si 2 and NiSi were found using the in-situ annealing method. On the other hand, a relatively uniform NiSiGe was formed using RTA; Ni 3 (Si 1-y Ge y ) 2 and Ni(Si 1-x Ge x ) (x
