Resumen:
We have measured the evolution of a palladium/silicon interface under consecutive annealing periods, performed at 200°C in UHV conditions. The interface was analyzed by means of Auger electron spectroscopy combined with factor analysis applied in a sequential way. We found that silicide appears only after annealing and evolves until all the palladium is consumed. A silicon compound different from silicide, identified as PdxSi with x<2 is found at the interface Pd/Si and Pd2Si/Si, before and after annealing respectively.
