摘要
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of thin layers of SiC on Si substrates to determine the critical thickness for strain relief by islanding and misfit dislocation formation. We find that layer-by-layer growth followed by the formation of misfit dislocations at the interface is the preferred mode of growth. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
