We deposited Ge films on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The specimens were annealed at around 750 C using microwave- plasma heating technique which we had reported before. After these pro- cesses, we carried out special scanning transmission electron microscopic (STEM) observation. The moir¨¦ between the crystal lattices and the scanning lines controlled by STEM was utilized to show lattice-spacing distribution. The results exhibited that we were succeeded in forming lattice-relaxed Ge thin films. It was also recognized that this STEM moir¨¦ technique is very useful to observe lattice-spacing distribution for large area with high resolution.
