Research Abstract |
It has been well known that the crystal lattice strain in semiconducting materials like silicon and gallium arsenide give origins for crystalline defects such as dislocations and may affect some device characteristics and their operation lives. As compared with usual X-ray diffractometry combined with laboratory X-ray sources, an X-ray microbeam made of a synchrotron light source at SPring-8 is very useful to measure minute strain being as small as less than 10^<-4>. The X-ray microbeam here obtained has a few μm in size and high parallelism. By scanning the X-ray microbeam on surfaces of various semiconductor crystal samples such as silicon-on-insulator (SOL) layers, SiGe layers and also GaAlAs LED crystals, local strain magnitude less than 10^<-4> were measured even during device operation. This technique will be promising for more precise characterization of next-generation substrates like strained silicon for future high-speed devices.
