Abstract
⺠Au is known to favor the formation of CoSi2 by solid phase reaction of Co with Si. ⺠We investigated the formation of Co silicide islands in presence of Au-rich islands. ⺠Au-rich islands induce locally an extraction of Si atoms out of the substrate. ⺠Si atoms outdiffusion decreases the formation temperature of Co silicide islands.
