摘要
Lattice parameter variations in strained Si1-xGex/Ge (x<0.23) induced by high-temperature annealing in the range 700-1000-degrees-C, were determined by x-ray high-resolution reciprocal lattice mapping of the crystal structure. In the range 700-800-degrees-C, the strain relaxation was found to increase by one order of magnitude owing to glide propagation of misfit dislocations, with an activation energy of 2.3 eV In the range 850-1000-degrees-C, relaxation was still high but the increase with the temperature was limited by dislocation interactions.
