We report enhanced two-component superconductivity in (CoSi2/Si)/TiSi2 superconductor/normal-metal (S/N) heterojunctions. An enhanced superconducting transition temperature about twice that of CoSi2 and an upper critical field about 20 times bigger than that of epitaxial CoSi2/Si films were found. The tunneling spectra of three-terminal S/N junctions show pronounced zero-bias conductance peaks (ZBCPs) that signify penetration of odd-frequency, spin-triplet and even-parity Cooper pairs in TiSi2 from triplet dominant pairing in CoSi2/Si driven by symmetry reduction at the CoSi2/Si interface. Both the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature and the ZBCPs are found to be more pronounced if TiSi2 is made more diffusive.
