摘要: An optical and electron microscopy study of the nucleation growth stacking faults in {001}‐oriented epitaxial silicon has been carried out following pretreatment crystal hydrofluoric acid thermal oxidation steam at 1050°C. A direct correlation etched surface structure as revealed by interference contrast scanning with substructural defects transmission established for times ≥1 min. The observations are divided into five stages which, taking TEM a reference, (i) formation needle‐shaped precipitate Si–SiO2 interface; (ii) an interfacial Frank dislocation; (iii) climb dislocation substrate; (iv) equilibrium‐shaped fault; (v) stacking‐fault interactions.
