Abstract

The formation and structures of misfit dislocations are significant factors in understanding heteroepitaxy of lattice-mismatched materials. In this study, GaAs/Si, CoGa/GaAs and ErAs/GaAs heterojunctions in materials grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy. Different types of misfit dislocations have been generated at these interfaces. The different dislocation configurations are discussed, along with interactions between 60° and 90° dislocations in GaAs/Si heterojunctions; the 60° dislocations might be associated with surface steps or edges of islands. The growth of antiphase boundary structures in the CoGa and ErAs grown on GaAs are proposed.
