The thermal stability of Ni silicide, in comparison to the more conventionally used Co silicide, is studied by X-ray reflectivity. These data were complemented by sheet resistance measurements, transmission electron microscopy, time-of-flight Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis.
