Buried single crystalline CoSi2 layers in Si(100) have been grown using molecular beam allotaxy. In this paper, we investigated the diffusive interaction of two buried silicide precipitate layers, one with a small Co peak concentration of 10 at% and another one with 26 at%. Annealing causes first local coarsening in each layer, and then dissolution of the thinner precipitate layer. The accumulation of the Co atoms at the thicker layer is described by a simple model for the diffusional redistribution.
