Application of Statistical Dynamical Diffraction Theory to Highly Defective Ion Implanted SiGe

Heterostructures

physica status solidi (a) 2011

Authors: Paul Kenneth Shreeman, R.J. Matyi

The statistical dynamical diffraction theory (SDDT) provides a method for performing high resolution X-ray

diffraction (HRXRD) analyses from materials that contain high levels of structural imperfection. SDDT is

implemented by combining kinematical and dynamical diffraction formalisms into a single framework

through the inclusion of two parameters (a static Debye–Waller factor and a correlation length) that can

provide an adjustable coupling between the kinematic and dynamic extremes. Typically one of the prominent

difficulties in implementing SDDT is the mathematical complexities that are characteristic of this theory.

Recently we have demonstrated a simplified realization of SDDT [Shreeman and Matyi, J. Appl. Crystallogr.

43, 550 (2010)] that preserves the essential features of the theory while allowing it to be applied to a variety

of structures. Here we show the viability of this approach by fitting various experimental HRXRD data from

highly defective and partially relaxed Si0.70Ge0.30 ion implanted heterostructures. This study demonstrates

the capabilities the SDDT theory provides for HRXRD analyses of highly defective semiconductor materials.

Implementation of Statistical Dynamical Diffraction Theory for Defective Semiconductor

Heterostructure Modelling

J. Appl. Cryst. 2010

Authors: Paul Kenneth Shreeman, R.J. Matyi

Statistical dynamic diffraction theory (SDDT) provides the ability to model defect-induced structures in

high-resolution X-ray diffraction analyses by incorporating both coherent (dynamic) and incoherent

(kinematic) scattering. Current treatments of SDDT are mathematically intensive and may not provide

sufficient detail regarding the implementation of the theory in practice. This paper discusses the

implementation of SDDT and the modifications that allow for successful SDDT analyses of fully relaxed

SiGe on Si.
