Abstract

GeSi/Si heterostructures grown by atmospheric chemical vapor epitaxy have been studied by cross sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). For the first time we have observed an interstitial-type dislocation loop which is located near to a 60° misfit dislocation in the initially prepared GeSi/Si sample. After 30 minutes observation, the interstitial-type dislocation loop disappeared and the 60° dislocation climbed. Moreover, we have observed dissociated 60° dislocations with about 9 nm width of stacking fault existing in silicon substrate.
