Abstract

Synchrotron x-ray topographs of GaAs epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) samples are made both in transmission and reflection geometries. The topographs show that the bending of the ELO layers is visible in most geometries. A simulation of the topographic images is implemented taking into account only the orientational contrast. Simulated back reflection section topographs are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The shape of the lattice planes in an ELO layer is calculated using the simulation data and compared to the measured surface profile of the same ELO stripe.
