Extending the performance of existing Si microelectronics beyond the limits faced by either miniaturization ("More Moore") or available functions ("More than Moore") requires the integration of new materials. Germanium, due to its superior physical properties with respect to Si in terms of optoelectronics and its CMOS processing compatibility, is one of the most promising materials to further develop the existing Si platform. However, there are challenges to the formation of low resistance metallic contacts to Ge. Different metal/Ge systems present promising electrical properties, but given wide-spread use in Si CMOS technologies in form of their respective silicides-, cobalt- and nickel- germanides are of special importance. In this contribution we focus our attention on the systematic and comparative growth studies of Co- and Ni- germanides on Ge(001) substrates, by means of STM technique. In addition, other measurement technique like TEM-EDX, XPS and LEED were applied to corroborate these STM results.
