Two important routes currently being used to improve molybdenum disilicide mechanical property and oxidation are the alloying approach and the doping approach.

Self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS)is regarded as an effective technique for producing MoSi2 and MoSi2 based composites due to its low cost, quick reaction speed and high transformation rate.

Various processes of the Mo/Si thin films deposited on Si (001) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique were carefully investigated and the MoSi2 thin film with the single tetragonal phase and low resistivity was successfully prepared.
