Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental in-situ observations of cobalt disilicide nucleation in Co+ implanted silicon and ab initio simulations of energies of small cobalt and cobaltvacancy clusters. Based on these results, microscopic nucleation mechanisms of different types of CoSi2 precipitates are discussed.
