摘要
Interface dislocations have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy for InxGa1-xN (50 nm)/GaN heterostructures grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy for 0.13< x< 0.20. Structural properties of the dislocations were analysed by conventional transmission electron microscopy by diffraction contrast. We observed two kinds of dislocations lying in the interface: screw type dislocations with Burgers vector b = a = 1/3 < 11 - 20> and pure edge misfit dislocations. The screw type dislocations were observed for x <= 0.17 and misfit dislocations for x >= 0.18. While the formation of MDs may be explained in the framework of conventional interface strain relaxation, the presence of screw-type dislocations may bring new insight on processes in hexagonal materials heteroepitaxy.
