Abstract

Method of forming alternating narrow strips of conductive metal silicide, specifically cobalt disilicide, and silicon on a substrate as of silicon with a silicon dioxide or silicon nitride surface layer. Cobalt and silicon are deposited on the substrate in the mole ratio of the eutectic composition of cobalt disilicide and silicon. A molten zone is caused to traverse these materials which upon resolidification at the trailing edge of the molten zone segregate into the two eutectic phases forming alternating narrow strata or lamellae of cobalt disilicide and silicon.
