Abstract

A new technique is presented to directly measure strains at the nanometer scale from HREM images of heteroepitaxial semiconductor systems. This approach involves the analysis of the cumulative sums of deviations in lattice-fringe spacing from a target value. A brief discussion of the technique is given and applications to a simulated bilayer system as well as to an experimental image of a semiconductor superlattice are presented. The CUSUM technique accurately reproduced the strain profiles in the systems investigated.
