Times Cited Count:31 Percentile:71.91(Physics, Applied)The axial orientation of molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE)-grown FeSi(111)/Ge(111) hybrid structures was investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. We confirmed that during MBE above 300
C, the interdiffusion of Fe and Ge atoms results in a composition change and the epitaxial growth of FeGe in Fe
Si. Low-temperature (
200
C) MBE can realize fully ordered DO
-Fe
Si with highly axial orientation [minimum yield (
)=2.2%]. Postannealing above 400
C results in a composition change and the degradation of axial orientation in the off-stoichiometric Fe
Si. The significance of stoichiometry with regard to thermal stability and the interfacial quality of Fe
Si(111)/Ge(111) hybrid structures was also discussed.

Ferromagnetic silicide FeSi (Currie temperature: 840 K) has three phases (A2, B2, and DO3), where the DO3-type is an ordered phase and calculated to be spin-polarized at the Fermi level. In addition, the lattice constant (0.565 nm) of Fe
Si is almost completely equal to that (0.565 nm) of Ge. Therefore, atomically controlled epitaxial growth of Fe
Si is expected on Ge. This will be a powerful tool to realize Ge channel spin transistors with ultrahigh speed operation and ultralow power consumption. This paper reviews our recent progress in novel epitaxial growth of Fe
Si on Ge for spintronics application.

Our recent progresses in epitaxial growth of FeSi on Ge substrates are reviewed. Single crystalline Fe
Si layers with atomically flat interfaces were achieved on Ge(111) substrates by optimizing growth conditions at low temperatures (60
200
C). Thermal stability of it was guaranteed up to 400
C. In addition, epitaxial growth of mixed layers composed of Fe
Si, FeGe, and FeSi on Ge substrates at 400
C is reported. Finally, epitaxial growth of Fe
Si/Ge/Fe
Si/Ge structures is discussed. These results will be a powerful tool to open up SiGe related spintronics.

The effects of the Fe/Si ratios on molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of FeSi on Ge substrate have been investigated in a wide range of growth temperatures (60
300
C). From XRD measurements, it was found that Fe
Si layers were epitaxially grown on Ge(111) substrates at 60
200
C under the stoichiometric (Fe:Si = 3:1) and non-stoichiometric (Fe:Si = 4:1) conditions. From RBS measurement, it was found that atomic mixing of Fe and Ge at Fe
Si/Ge interfaces began at a growth temperature of 300
C. In the case of MBE under the stoichiometric condition, the crystallinity of Fe
Si is significantly improved compared to the non-stoichiometric condition. As a result, very low
was obtained in a wide temperature (60
200
C) under the stoichiometric condition. From the transmission electron microscopy measurements, it was shown that high-quality DO3-type Fe
Si/Ge structures with atomically flat interfaces were realized at a low temperature (
200
C) under the stoichiometric condition.
