受発光素子としての応用が期待される$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$の発光特性に及ぼす基板/薄膜界面の微細構造及び組成変化を検討することを目的として、二種の異なる基板上(Si(100), silicon-on-insulator(SOI))に作製した$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$について透過型電子顕微鏡を用いて断面観察を行った。この結果、Si(100)上に生成した$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$は生成後の加熱により凝集し、20$$sim$$200nmの粒子となった。この際Si, $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$いずれにも明らかな転位や積層欠陥は観測されなかった。一方同様の凝集はSOI基板を用いた場合にも見られ、20$$sim$$30nmの粒子が生成するが、同時にSiO$$_{2}$$層の極端な膨潤(100$$rightarrow$$500nm)が観測された。このためSOI基板を用いた場合にはSiO$$_{2}$$上に直接$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$が存在し、$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$/Si界面は認められなかった。従来まで得られている発光特性との関係から$$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$/Si界面の存在が発光に大きな影響を与えることが示唆された。

The effect of the substrate/film interface structure and compositional changes at the interface has been investigated by using two different substrates (Si(100), silicon-on-insulator (SOI)) with cross sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM). The observed images show that the $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$ on Si(100) were aggregated through the subsequent annealing, forming $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$ particles with the size of 20$$sim$$200 nm. In the SOI sample, expansion of the buried SiO$$_{2}$$ layer was significantly seen from TEM images and EDS mapping through the subsequent annealing. Aggregation also occurred to form 20$$sim$$30 nm $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$ particles with SOI substrate. No $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$/Si interface is observed since the SiO$$_{2}$$ layer swelled and top surface Si layer disappeared through the annealing. On the other hand, the $$beta$$-FeSi$$_{2}$$/Si interface is still observed even after the subsequent annealing when Si(100) substrate was employed.
