Dislocation imaging using ion beam induced charge

Abstract
The recently developed ion beam induced charge technique has been used to image bands of misfit dislocations in a 4 μm thick epitaxial layer of Si0.875Ge0.125 grown on a Si substrate. The smallest resolvable bandwidth is 0.8 μm under present conditions. The factors which presently limit this value, and methods for improving it are discussed.
