Abstract
Ternary films about 200 nm thick of composition Ru20Si15O65 have been synthesized by reactive rf magnetron sputtering of a Ru1Si1 target in an argon-oxygen gas. As-deposited, the films are X-ray-amorphous. Their atomic density is 8.9 × 10^22/cm^3 (5.1 g/cm^3), and their electrical resistivity is in the range of 2 mOmega cm. After annealing in dry oxygen at 600°C for 30 min, micron-sized grains of RuO2 grow out of the film and volatile RuO4 escapes. The significance of these results is discussed.
