Method of producing a monocrystalline layer on a substrate

摘要

A monocrystalline layer is vapor-deposited on a substrate surface while substantially simultaneously such surface is irradiated with an ion beam having ions with a kinetic energy of at least 10 keV. The resultant ion current impinging on the substrate surface is controlled in such a manner that the sum of the vaporization rate and sputtering rate caused by such ions is smaller than the combined condensation rate of such ions and vaporized particles.
