Abstract

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images are correlated with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) plan-view images in a structure consisting of <111> oriented GaAs layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at 500°C. We present results on the applicability of AFM, which requires short sample preparation and imaging time relative to TEM, in obtaining information on twin density and growth pits of these low temperature samples. Also, we discuss the behavior of twin boundaries by comparing plan-views and cross sectional TEM images.
