Abstract
A review of the salient theories advanced to account for the formation of crystallographic defects in epitaxially deposited silicon films on silicon substrates is presented. Experimental observations of defect generation processes in epitaxial films due to slip bands and point defect complexes in the substrate are discussed with an analysis of the possible mechanisms involved. The effects of growth stacking faults on p-n junction and bipolar transistor characteristics are also discussed.
