X-ray Coherent Scattering on GaP/Si for III-V Monolithic Integration on Silicon
Abstract : GaP, quasi-lattice matched to Si, allows growth of low defect density III-V/Si pseudosubstrates [1]. However, Antiphase boundaries (APB) likely appear and must be avoided. In this context, X-ray nanodiffraction and Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) have been used as non-destructive techniques for local characterization of APB configuration [2]. Different GaP/Si nanolayers were studied at ID01/ESRF with an 8 keV coherent xray beam. Here a 140nm thick GaP presents annihilated APB (less than 3/m emerging APB). Bragg geometry ptychography of the APB has been attempted using (002) GaP weak reflection. This shows a peak splitting, characteristic of a heterogeneous APB density. But a still too high defect density precludes successful phase retrieval imaging. Two-dimensional fast mapping (kmap) [3] over the (004) and the (002) reflections shows for different regions of integrated intensities (ROI) (Fig. 1a) weak (Bragg maximum -0.5° on rocking angle) and strong scattering conditions (Fig. 1b and 1c respectively). As shown fig. 1b), the weak scattered intensity in ROI1, exhibits contrast lines oriented along both [1 1 0] and [-1 1 0] crystallographic directions. This contrast corresponds to regions of high tilt, surrounding misfit dislocations [3]. Strong scattering conditions performed on the (004) (Fig. 1c) and the (002) Bragg reflections present a quite different contrast with large spotty regions. We believe that this anisotropic contrast is due to weak tilt/strain, associated to the APD annihilation process.1. Y. P. Wang et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 107, 191603 (2015).2. S.
