Abstract

Selective-area MBE growth of Si1−xGex film is examined using a Si substrate partially covered with SiO2 film. Elimination of misfit dislocations is observed by TEM. Two possible mechanisms in this elimination, limitation of the lateral extension of misfit dislocations, and partial relaxation of the strain at the SiO2 pattern edge, are discussed.
