Abstract
The reliability of microelectronics devices strongly depends on defects like dislocations in the semiconductor wafers. Whereas several methods are routinely used to measure the dislocation density and residual stress in wafers, there is a need of methods to characterize the strain and stress fields around single dislocations with high lateral resolution. The strain and stress fields around single edge and screw dislocations in GaAs are considered, and the corresponding Raman shifts of the phonons are calculated. Due to the finite local resolution, mappings show averaged strain values. Requirements for lateral resolution and signal/noise ratios of the Raman measurements to characterize dislocations are discussed. (Β© 2007 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

A Raman investigation on InP layers grown by Metal Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy on GaAs (001) substrates, with thicknesses exceeding the critical thickness and ranging from 23 to \(280 \mathrm{~nm}\), is reported. The InP LO phonon shows an increasing frequency blueshift with decreasing layer thickn
The generation and properties of photoexcited steady-state plasma of electrons and holes in bevel-shaped p-type GaAs structures were studied by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The best correspondence of theoretical calculations with experimental spectra was obtained by using of photoexcited carrier concen
