Abstract

It is not presently possible to resolve the individual atoms in any semiconductor by high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). However symmetry arguments may be used to allow near-atomic resolution lattice images to be interpreted in rare favorable cases. This method is applied to the problem of distinguishing shuffle and glide set partial dislocations in silicon. It is also proposed that two dimensional characteristic loss energy selected diffraction patterns be used to reveal the local symmetry about selected substitutional species implanted in semiconductor lattices.
