The practical importance of II-VI and III-V single crystals is ever increasing. However, utilization of these materials in radically new microelectronic devices requires high-quality crystals with definite electrical properties. Therefore, further improvement of known techniques as well as the search for novel ways of growing perfect crystals and preparing high-quality surfaces are among the major concerns of semiconductor materials research. In attacking these problems, wide use is made of X-ray diffraction analysis, which offers highly informative, nondestructive techniques for assessing crystal perfection. In this work, we demonstrate the potentialities of oblique-asymmetric reflection geometry in both X-ray topographic and double-crystal configurations for studying structural changes in surface layers of CdTe and InSb single crystals.
