Due to the many conflicting reports on the structure of evaporated Pt on Si substrates, a study of the system was made with special emphasis on possible experimental errors. It is shown that for annealing temperatures up to 700 °C the only phases present are Pt and PtSi for evaporated and sputtered Pt.
