Reduction of dislocation mobility in GexSi1-x epilayers

A new method is presented that allows reduction in the dislocation mobility in GexSi1-x layers on Si by application of a load opposing the misfit stress in the layers. Results are given for layers with a Ge mole fraction x=0·016 and x = 0·022 and layer thicknesses of 0·42-0·9 μm.
