Abstract(in English) We examined the interfacial growth and silicidation of a thin HfO_2/Si structure. It was fund that the growth of interfacial layer was a Si oxidation reaction at the HfO_2/Si interface caused by oxygen incorporation from the annealing ambient. This reaction proceeded under even high vacuum conditions. For instance, an order of 10^<-7> Torr is required to suppress the interfacial oxidation at 800℃. We also demonstrated that an ultrathin Al_2O_2 capping layer on the HfO_2/Si structure effectively suppressed the interfacial Si oxidation. The silicidation took place as a void nucleation at temperatures higher than 900℃. Although the density of silicide voids was less than 1000 cm^<-2>, this reaction is a crucial issue to
