  • Abstract
    Highly strained epilayers of Si0.4Ge0.6 can be grown pseudomorphically on a Si (001) substrate with thicknesses up to ~25 nm. The epilayer surface morphology was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and defects observed in the relaxed epilayers were analyzed by combination of plan view transmission electron microscopy PV-TEM and AFM.
