Abstract: A crystallisation method for an alloy film such as a Co-based ternary Heusler-alloy is described having the steps of: providing a substrate; depositing a layer of the alloy film to be crystallised onto the substrate using a physical vapour deposition process to a depth of up to a few hundred nm; optionally depositing a capping layer thereon; heating the deposited film at an annealing temperature below 300° C. and for example of around 200° C. to 300° C. to effect crystallisation of the alloy film layer. The method is in particular applied to the in the deposition and annealing in situ of an alloy film in or on a semiconductor device for example as a functional film in or on such a device and in particular to the deposition and annealing in situ of a highly-spin-polarised ferromagnetic thin film on a semiconductor or spintronic device.
