Rotation CBXD topographs of a silicon wedged single crystal with a hole, cut as a perpendicular lamella from a (100) Si wafer using a focused ion beam. (a) Scanning electron micrographs of the crystal. (b) The deficiency line and Bragg streak remain separated by and move together (here horizontally) as the crystal is rotated, to map out the projected view of a defocused crystal. (c) Rotation diffraction pattern formed by summing exposures over a range of ±15° about the vertical axis with a step size of 0.02°. (d) A distorted topograph from the reflection. (e) Line profiles of the measured and simulated topograph intensity along the positions indicated in (d). Experimental (f) and simulated (g) rotation topographs obtained with a coarse rotation step of 0.2°. |
