摘要:
A technique isdescribed for removing defects and disorder from crystalline layers and the epitaxial regrowth of such layers. The technique involves depositing short term bursts of energy over a limited spatial region of a material thereby annealing the otherwise damaged material and causing it to epitaxially regrow. Subsequent to the short term energy deposition, similar processing is sequentially effected on adjoining and overlapping regions such that a pattern is ultimately "written". This pattern forms a continuous region of essentially single crystal material.
摘要:
A method of producing patterned epitaxial silicon films and devices fabricated thereby is described. The method forms a first layer of a refractory material on a substrate and pattern delineates the first layer. Silicon is then deposited at a temperature within the range between 400 degrees C. and 700 degrees C. and the polycrystalline material that forms is removed.
