Abstract
Rod-shaped scattering, referred to as crystal truncation rod (CTR) scattering in X-ray diffraction, can also be observed in optical diffraction patterns obtained from the surface profile image of high-resolution electron micrographs. The characteristics of the CTR scattering are shown to be in agreement with those observed by X-ray scattering. With this technique, information about the lattice relaxation of the image of surfaces or interface boundaries observed in the electron microscope (EM) can be easily obtained and the lattice spacing of a GaAs crystal is shown to be shrunk at the interface boundary between the (001) surface and the amorphous oxide layer. This is precisely opposite to the effect observed for an Si (001) wafer surface. Several effects of surface modulation on CTR scattering are demonstrated using an optical diffractometer and masks of the f.c.c. lattice.
