Title: Low-dislocation-density epitatial layers grown by defect filtering by self-assembled layers of spheres

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1083610

A method for growing low-dislocation-density material atop a layer of the material with an initially higher dislocation density using a monolayer of spheroidal particles to bend and redirect or directly block vertically propagating threading dislocations, thereby enabling growth and coalescence to form a very-low-dislocation-density surface of the material, and the structures made by this method.
