摘要
Synchrotron monochromatic beam X-ray topography (SMBXT) in grazing incidence geometry shows black and white contrast for basal plane dislocations (BPDs) with Burgers vectors of opposite signs as demonstrated using ray tracing simulations. The inhomogeneous distribution of these dislocations is associated with the concave/convex shape of the basal plane. Therefore, the distribution of these two BPD types were examined for several 6-inch diameter 4H-SiC substrates and the net BPD density distribution was used for evaluating the nature and magnitude of basal plane bending in these wafers. Results show different bending behaviors along the two radial directions - [110] and [100] directions, indicating the existence of non-isotropic bending. Linear mapping of the peak shift of the 0008 reflection along the two directions was carried out using HRXRD to correlate with the results from the SMBXT measurements. Basal-plane-tilt angle calculated using the net BPD density derived from SMBXT shows a good correlation with those obtained from HRXRD measurements, which further confirmed that bending in basal plane is caused by the non-uniform distribution of BPDs. Regions of severe bending were found to be associated with both large tilt angles (95% black contrast BPDs to 5% white contrast BPDs) and abrupt changes in a and c lattice parameters i.e. local strain.
