✦ Synopsis
In this work we study the phase transition of Co/poly-Si layers capped with Ti or TiN films. Silicide reaction has been performed by isothermal annealing in the temperature range between 420 and 510 • C and studied by measuring the sheet resistance during time. The time interval associated to the CoSi-CoSi 2 phase transition has been extracted as a function of the cap layer and the annealing temperature. The presence of the Ti cap systematically reduces the rate of CoSi 2 formation with respect to the sample with TiN. It has been found that the cap type has an impact on the pre-exponential factor of the growth time but it does not affect the activation energy. As an effect, the silicide capped with Ti has a flat interface with the substrate.

Formation of C54 TiSi was investigated in cosputtered (Ti 1 Si) films with and without a TiN capping layer 2 following rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The first phase observed in the specimens was Ti Si regardless if a 5 3 TiN overlayer was present. Free energy calculations indicate the preference of
## Abstract We report time‐resolved resonance Raman spectra for the azirine intermediate produced in the 2‐fluorenylnitrene ring‐expansion reaction to form a dehydroazepine product. The Raman bands obtained with a 252.7 nm probe wavelength and 500 ns delay time exhibit reasonable agreement with pre
