Abstract

Results from X-ray diffraction studies of the morphology of the growing Si(001 )/SiO2 interface are presented. We show the evolution of the root mean square roughness as a function of the growth variables, and we try to go beyond the root mean square parametrization of the interface by measuring the spectral distribution of interface fluctuations. Within our current experimental sensitivies we cannot resolve any fluctuations with a finite in-plane momentum transfer.
