Sumario:The knowledge of the crystal shape and of the CoSi2/Si interface is essential for the theoretical modeling of these systems because these features have important influence on the electronic behavior, in particular the Schottky barrier height. Here is presented a comprehensive high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigation of buried CoSi2/Si nanostructures unconventionally obtained from a soft-chemistry method. In addition, the HRTEM images were studied by a strain state analysis method (GPA) [3] to calculate the 2D lattice distortion around the nanostructures. These results were compared with predictions as obtained by Finite Element Simulation (FE) to verify the induced 3D strain state.
