In this article, we have developed models for threading dislocation (TD) reduction due to the introduction of an intentionally strained layer. Three different types of dislocations have been considered in this model: misfit dislocations (MDs), mobile TDs, and TDs whose glide motion has been blocked by a MD crossing the glide path of the TD (immobile TDs). The models are based on MD formation by the process of lateral TD motion. The strain-induced TD motion leads to possible annihilation reactions of mobile TDs with either other mobile TDs or blocked TDs, or reactions in which a mobile TD is converted to an immobile TD by a blocking reaction with a MD. The evolution of the density of mobile and blocked TDs and the MD density is represented by three coupled nonlinear first order differential equations. When blocking of TDs by MDs is not considered, the equations have an analytical solution that shows that the final TD density should decrease exponentially where the argument of the exponent is proportional t...
