摘要
Transmission electron microscopy has been employed to investigate dislocation configurations and interactions in Si1-xGex/Si(001) epilayer heterostructures grown by Gas-Source MBE. Thick Si1-xGex/Si(001) epilayers had 3-dimensional configuration of misfit dislocations in the entire structure. The main arrays of misfit dislocations at each single Si1-xGex/Si(001) interface were along the two [110] directions, being 60 degrees type in character. Three-way dislocation configuration, resulting from the interaction between dislocations, was observed at the interface. Observation of [001] oriented dislocations having striation lines was new in low misfit (1<%) Si1-xGex/Si(001) epilayer heterostructures.
