A comprehensive review on interfacial reactions to form silicides between metal and Si nanowire or wafer is given. Formation of silicide contacts on Si wafers or Si nanowires is a building block needed in making current-based Si devices. Thus, the microstructure control of silicide formation on the basis of kinetics of nucleation and growth has relevant applications in microelectronic technology....
