摘要: The effects of high-temperature annealing were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS) on reduction threading dislocation density in GaAs epilayers grown Si substrates. It was found that the annealed remarkably reduced. This phenomenon could be attributed to an increase velocity glide motion including climb caused reaction with vacancies at high temperature. In addition, specific long dislocations running parallel GaAs–Si hetero-interface observed. distributed around diffusion front atoms epilayer. These results led a model for annealing.
