Abstract
Longβrange strain in nearly perfect crystalline materials can be detected by Xβray dynamical diffraction. Longβrange strain due to uniform bending or torsion is undetectable by the conventional method, but can be detected by rotating the specimens along the scattering vector. This method was applied to Si micro systems, and local strain concentrations were clearly revealed by Xβray topography.

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) method "high angular resolution 3DXRD" is briefly introduced, and results are presented for a single bulk grain in a polycrystalline copper sample deformed in tension. It is found that the three-dimensional reciprocal-space intensity distribution of a 400 reflection assoc
## Abstract High Resolution Xβray Diffraction allows for the measurement of periodic strain fields in monocrystalline silicon and is nonβdestructive. In this study a periodic strain field is induced in Si by SiO~2~ filled trenches (Shallow Trench Isolation process). The strain in Si is evaluated fo
