Titanium Silicide Formation in Presence of Oxygen by C. Nobili, F. Nava, G. Ottaviani, M. Costato, G. De Santi, G. Queirolo

“…The presence of oxygen produces the formation of silicon and titanium oxide around 500 C. Critical analysis of the experimental results have indicated that metal oxidation is inhibited when an excess of silicon is present, which suggests the use of a sputtered Si coating cap as a medium capable of effectively decoupling the silicide film from oxygen. …”
