摘要: Heteroepitaxial silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) structures have been studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, electron microscopy, and diffraction. These methods yielded a large amount of complementary data on the defect structure both sapphire substrate silicon film, including integral local (at atomic-resolution level) information about substrate, sapphire-silicon interface.
