Abstract: Wiebe's criterion, which recognizes complete intersections of dimension zero among the class of noetherian local rings, is revisited and exploited in order to provide information on what we call C.I.0-ideals (those such that the corresponding quotient is a complete intersection of dimension zero) and also on chains of C.I.0-ideals. A correspondence is established between C.I.0-ideals and a certain kind of matrices which we call $x$-nice, and a chain of C.I.0-ideals corresponds to a factorization of some $x$-nice matrix. When the local ring $A$ itself is a complete intersection of dimension zero, a C.I.0-ideal is necessarily of the form $(0:bA)$ for some $binA$. Some criteria are provided to recognize whether an ideal $(0:bA)$ is C.I.0 or not. When $y$ is a minimal generator of the maximal ideal of $A$, it is also proved that the ideals $yA$ and $(0:yA)$ are C.I.0 simultaneously and that this is the case exactly when the ideal $(0:yA)$ is principal. These C.I.0-ideals of the form $(0:yA)$, $y$ being a minimal generator of the maximal ideal, are investigated. They are of interest because the smallest nonnull C.I.0-ideal in a strict chain of C.I.0-ideals of the maximal length is necessarily of that form, and their existence has some implications for a realization of the ring, i.e. for the way the ring can can be viewed as a quotient of a regular local ring.
