Description

Multidirectional RBS channeling analysis is used to identify the crystal orientation of a MOCVD-grown CdTe layer on a (100) GaAs substrate. Results show that the CdTe has a (111) orientation. However, from channeling in different axial directions and a rotational angular scan around the <111> axis, it is deduced that the CdTe layer is multiply twinned about this axis. Cross-sectional electron microscopy has revealed the twins to be 180deg rotational twins. (orig.)
