Abstract

Edge misfit dislocations (MDs) formed as result of reactions between 60° glissile threading dislocations and 60° MDs lying on an intersecting glide plane were found in strained GeSi-on-Si(001) and Ge-on-InGaAs/GaAs films. It was demonstrated that dislocations penetrating from the InGaAs buffer layer to the strained Ge film can provoke formation of not only 60° MDs, but also edge MDs on the interface even at minor mismatch of the lattice parameters of the film and the InGaAs/GaAs virtual substrate.
