AbstractAntiphase boundaries in GaP crystals epitactically grown on Si (001) have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy. Convergent-beam electron diffraction was used to identify the antiphase-related grains. The antiphase boundaries were observed to adopt facets parallel to specific crystallographic orientations. Furthermore, stacking-fault-like contrast was observed along the interface suggesting that the domains may be offset from one another by a rigid-body lattice translation.

Dislocations play a crucial role in self-organization and strain relaxation mechanisms in SiGe heterostructures. In most cases, they should be avoided, and different strategies exist to exploit their nucleation properties in order to manipulate their position. In either case, detailed knowledge about their exact Burgers vectors and possible dislocation reactions are necessary to optimize the fabrication processes and the properties of SiGe materials. In this review a brief overview of the dislocation mechanisms in the SiGe system is given. The method of choice for dislocation characterization is transmission electron microscopy. In particular, the article provides a detailed introduction into large-angle convergent-beam electron diffraction, and gives an overview of different application examples of this method on SiGe structures and related systems.

ABSTRACTΣ=3 lateral twin boundaries and a Σ=19 boundary have been investigated by highresolution electron microscopy. The lateral twin boundary was produced by growth on single crystal (110) Ge substrate and was observed to facet parallel to the common (112) plane and the (111)/{115} planes. The Σ=19 boundary was grown on a bicrystal substrate and faceted parallel to the common {331} plane. In this case, convergent-beam electron diffraction was used to determine the polarity of the adjoining grains. A possible model for the atomic configuration is proposed for each of the observed boundaries. GaAs-AlxGa1−xAs heterolayers were grown on a (001) Ge substrates to examine the interaction of antiphase boundaries with heterojunctions.
