Abstract

ABSTRACTSilicon bicrystals containing Σ =3(60°/[111]1,2) twin boundaries have been fabricated by sintering together single crystal (IMi) :vafers (which deviated from the exact (111) by upto ±4′). Transmission electron microscopic investigation revealed the boundaries to be near-twin boundaries having a superposed tilt component. The grain boundary dislocation structure of these boundaries has been studied in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and interpreted as arising from the interaction of a large tilt component with a smaller twist component, to give the observed low energy configuration.
