The Co distribution in the initial stages of growth of Co on Si (100) at room temperature has been probed in situ by high-resolution Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Even at very low coverage (0.08 ML) extensive Co in-diffusion is found. The in-diffused Co forms a pronounced subsurface maximum which shifts into the Si bulk with increasing coverage and persists up to a coverage of 1.19 ML. The Co concentration at the surface saturates at the value of 0.5 for 1.19 ML of Co. Evidence of Si out-diffusion is seen for 2 and 2.93 ML which results in the formation of a CoSi phase.
