Résumé

Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) is a powerful technique to characterize the structural defects present in a sample and to obtain relevant statistics about their density. Using ECCI, such defects can only be properly visualized, if the information depth is larger than the depth at which defects reside. Furthermore, a systematic correlation of the features observed by ECCI with the defect nature, confirmed by a complementary technique, is required for defect analysis. Therefore, we present in this paper a site-specific ECCI-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) inspection. Its value is illustrated by the application to a partially relaxed epitaxial Si
