ABSTRACTThe mechanisms and kinetics of forming misfit dislocations in heteroepitaxial films are studied. The critical thickness for misfit dislocation formation can be found by considering the incremental extension of a misfit dislocation by the movement of a “threading” dislocation segment that extends from the film/substrate interface to the free surface of the film. This same mechanism allows one to examine the kinetics of dislocation motion and to illuminate the importance of dislocation nucleation and multiplication in strain relaxation. The effects of unstrained epitaxial capping layers on these processes are also considered. The major effects of such capping layers are to inhibit dislocation nucleation and multiplication. The effect of the capping layer on the velocity of the “threading” dislocation is shown to be small by comparison.A new substrate curvature technique for measuring the strain and studying the kinetics of strain relaxation in heteroepitaxial films is also briefly described.

Strained multilayers composed of two misfitting layers and a third, thin interlayer are considered. With appropriate intermediate lattice parameters for the interlayer, the latter is shown to stabilize the structure with respect to misfit dislocation formation. Cases of misfit corresponding both to balanced biaxial stress and to pure shear stress in the interface are treated.

Thermal annealing experiments were performed to determine the critical conditions of misfit dislocation formation in 4H-SiC epilayers in a temperature range of 1400-1800 °C. Misfit dislocations were observed to form at a given annealing temperature if the temperature gradient across the epi-wafer exceeded a critical value. It was also found that two types of interfacial dislocations could form under different stress conditions. Their formation mechanisms are discussed.
