X-Ray Diffraction Analysis of Epitaxial Layers with the Properties of a Dislocation Filter

Аннотация

An approach to instant testing of epitaxial films with a sharp decrease in the threading dislocation density is proposed. High-resolution X-ray diffractometry, including reciprocal space mapping, has been used. The structure of GaAs/Si(001) heterosystems with low-temperature GaAs layers has been analyzed. A decrease in the density of threading dislocations in the GaAs film with the formation of a small-angle boundary has been detected.
