Abstract

Steps at the AIN/SiC interface have been investigated by HREM. Some of them do not introduce any defects. Others steps present a dislocation character which can contribute to relieve the strain due to the lattice mismatch. A third kind of steps gives rise to a prismatic planar fault for which a model is given. A reaction between prismatic and basal stacking faults is analyzed.
