Rocking curves with three diffraction peaks were acquired before and after 180° rotation of samples. Double-crystal topographs taken at the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the three peaks differ from each other. Many defects appear in the Si layers that are likely related to the tilt between SOI and epitaxial layers.展开更多

Rocking curves with three diffraction peaks were acquired before and after 180° rotation of samples. Double-crystal topographs taken at the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the three peaks differ from each other.
