MISFIT DISLOCATION MULTIPLICATION PROCESSES IN SI1-XGEX ALLOYS FOR X-LESS-THAN-0.15

The density of misfit dislocation sources in strained Si 1-xGex layers grown on Si substrates is rarely sufficient to explain the observed extent of relaxation when layer thicknesses are in excess of the metastable critical thickness. This letter describes a process whereby a small, but finite numbe...
