Abstract
A study has been made of hillock‐like features which sometimes occur on {1, 0, 0} surfaces of epitaxial gallium arsenide. X‐ray diffraction topography reveals that the hillocks contain cores of twin which originate at, or near, the epitaxial interface. During growth of the layer the twins can become buried, leaving a surface which is matrix‐oriented.
