The morphology of interfaces in strain-compensated Si/SiGe/SiC superlattice
s is investigated by means of diffuse x-ray reflection. Various structure m
odels are assumed for an analysis of the experimental data, namely anisotro
pic ripples, isotropic ripples and a fractal roughness. The type of the str
ucture and the mean distance of the ripples is determined on the basis of e
xperimental data analysis.
