摘要: The misfit dislocation configurations in initial GaAs islands grown on silicon were studied by high‐resolution electron microscopy. Misfit dislocations, especially 60° type and stacking faults, observed to generate from near the edges of islands. Large steps substrate surface help nucleation these dislocations. presence threading dislocations thicker films is attributed segments A mechanism proposed explain propagation multiplication during coalescence their subsequent growth.
