摘要: Abstract Using pulsed magnetron sputtering at low substrate temperature (Ts = 580 °C) the homoepitaxial growth on Si(111) was studied. The films were comprehensively characterized by cross-section transmission electron microscopy and various diffraction methods. Up to a film thickness of 1240 nm no breakdown epitaxial observed. surface microstructure, backscatter diffraction, exhibits exclusively crystalline structure with (111) orientation. Careful analysis selected area patterns high-resolution X-ray data clearly proves existence twinning/stacking faults in {111} planes. Besides these defects – which are typical for low-temperature epitaxy additional significant related energetic particle bombardment sputter deposition method
