Abstract
Self-supporting bi-layer structures of Al/SiO2 thin-films has been investigated by a combination "in-situ" of Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). We observed that the Al/Si02 mismatch results in high tensile stress that contribute to slower the kinectics of the Al nucleation. Practically there is no change of the Al morphology in the annealed samples even at temperatures up to 720 K. A metastable Al silicide was observed at temperatures around 370 K.
