Abstract

The use of convergent beam electron diffraction patterns (CBPs) for investigating metal—semiconductor interfaces in plan—view samples is considered. It is shown that a wide—angle diffraction technique provides a sensitive method of measuring tetragonal distortions in NiSi 2/(001)Si bicrystals. A study of CBP symmetry and the detailec branch structure in higher order Laue zone rings has enabled the interfacial rigid body displacement in NiSi 2/(001)Si and Al/(001)GaAs films to be determined.
