摘要
The structural perfection and surface morphology of sapphire substrates vacuum-annealed at atomic Si flux densities from 5 x 10(15) to 1 x 10(16) at/(cm(2) s) have been studied by electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy. The results demonstrate that, after annealing in the range 1160-1330A degrees C, the sapphire has a smooth, single-crystal surface, which enables the growth of twin-free silicon epilayers at 600-700A degrees C.
