The TDD of Ge epitaxial layer is analyzed by etching or transmission electron microscope (TEM). However, high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) rocking curve provides an optional method to analyze the TDD in Ge layer. The theory model of TDD measurement from rocking curves was first used in zinc-blende semiconductors. In this paper, this method is extended to the case of strained Ge-on-Si layers. The HR-XRD 2θ/ω scan is measured and Ge (004) single crystal rocking curve is utilized to calculate the TDD in strained Ge epitaxial layer. The rocking curve full width at half maximum (FWHM) broadening by incident beam divergence of the instrument, crystal size, and curvature of the crystal specimen is subtracted. The TDDs of samples A and B are calculated to be 1.41108 cm-2 and 6.47108 cm-2, respectively. In addition, we believe the TDDs calculated by this method to be the averaged dislocation density in the Ge epitaxial layer.展开更多

The crystal surfaces were polished, and then studied by atom force microscope (AFM) and wet-chemical etching (WCE). It was found that the Zn polar plane was smoother than O polar plane under the same polishing conditions. The etch pit density of Zn polar plane is 4.3×10^3 cm^-2, which is consistent with the previous report, while the density of etch pit of O polar plane is more than 103cm^-2. After annealing treatment, the density of etch pit of Zn plane reduces to 5.8×102 cm^2 and is superior to the current report. This investigation reveals that the high quality ZnO single crystals with fine Zn polar plane can be obtained by the innovated hydrothermal method.展开更多
