Selective Etching of Dislocations in Si

....The selective etching of dislocations in silicon allows one to see dislocation structure of Si single crystals after any modification or treatment, such as cutting, grinding, polishing, thermal treatment or deformation. The differently oriented triangles in the picture of a selectively etched {111} silicon surface correspond to dislocations moved in different glide systems.
