A series of GexNi1-x films were synthesized on single-crystal silicon substrates using direct-current magnetron sputtering in a high-vacuum chamber. The films were produced by simultaneous sputtering of two targets: semiconductor germanium and metallic nickel. The chemical composition of the films was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been established that thermal annealing of films leads to the formation of a nickel germanide (NiGe) phase. Scanning electron microscopy has revealed areas that can be attributed to this phase. Keywords: electrode materials, metal nanoparticles, electrocatalytic activity, semiconductor nanostructured systems.
