Don't know much about it but LMGTFY.

The STATS CLUS SIL extension command will give you a graphical display of silhoutte values that can help you evaluate your clusters.  It can be installed from the Extensions or Utilities menu if it is not already installed.  It appears on the menus as 

Analyze > Classify > Cluster Silhouettes.
