Abstract

Si(100) single crystals containing circular gratings etched into the surface using reactive ion etching were analysed using both monochromatic and white beam reflection X-ray topography. Some features of observed X-ray topographic contrast associated with the gratings were modelled using a diffracting zone model, based on a simple radial in-plane strain field. Reasonable agreement was obtained between this model and observations.
