Method of synthesising a crystalline material and material thus obtained

摘要

The invention provides a method of synthesizing a crystalline material in which seeds ( 6 ) are produced of a catalyst that is adapted to dissolve carbon on a substrate ( 2 ) of a first material; carbon nanotubes ( 6 ) are grown from the seeds ( 6 ); and a layer is produced of a second material comprising at least one monocrystalline region ( 12 ) orientated from a seed ( 6 ). The invention also provides the material obtained by said method. Application to the synthesis of polycrystalline silicon on a glass substrate.
