Description

Silicon crystals containing dislocations which terminated in the free surface were melted to depths of about 0.5 μm by rube-laser pulses, and the growth characteristics of dislocations of various types were studied by transmission electron microscopy. It was found that both edge- and screw-type dislocations grew in <113> directions that were not normal to the crystal-growth interface
