Defect microstructures within heteroepitaxial layers may be categorize
d according to whether they arise due to problems at the epilayer/subs
trate interface, are introduced during growth itself or are due to som
e inherent materials problem. Examples taken from II-VI/GaAs systems s
howing interface reaction, lattice relaxation, banding due to composit
ional variations at the growth front and dimorphism are described.
