T. Okuyama et al., ANALYSIS OF LOCAL LATTICE STRAINS AROUND PLATE-LIKE OXYGEN PRECIPITATES IN CZOCHRALSKI-SILICON WAFERS BY CONVERGENT-BEAM ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION, JPN J A P 1, 36(6A), 1997, pp. 3359-3365
Convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) is used to study lattice s
train around plate-like oxygen precipitates in Czochralski (CZ)-grown
silicon. Local lattice strain determined from higher-order Laue zone (
HOLZ) patterns shows that compressive and tensile stress fields exist
near the precipitates. The spatial variation of local lattice strain a
nd lattice rotation is visualized in a defocused large angle CBED disc
, or a convergent-beam imaging (CBIM) disc.
