TEM observation of dislocation loops correlated with individual swirl defects in as-grown silicon

Abstract
Swirl defects in as-grown silicon single crystals could be observed directly in a transmission electron microscope after application of a special sample preparation method. Complicated dislocation loops were found at positions of individual swirl defects which had been revealed as hillocks rather than as etch pits by a modified Sirtl etch.
