Abstract

GaAs/Gal-xInxAs strained layer superlattices with well-widths of 7nm, barrier widths of 14nm and periods of 10 to 30 have been examined by HREM both in plan view and cross section. Strain release occurs mostly by dislocation generation but twins are also observed, especially at the substrate interface. High resolution images of dislocations, twins and interfaces are analyzed to elucidate mechanisms of strain release.
