LIQUID ZONE EPITAXY PROCESS

摘要

The invention comprises a process for the production of a layer which is epitaxially grown on a surface of a substrate, in which the material which is to be epitaxially grown is brought into contact with the surface of the substrate, and in which at a high temperature some of the material at the surface of the substrate is dissolved in a melt and in the liquid phase the melt forms a surface contact with the surface of the substrate, and in which the material of the melt is compelled to assume the form of a thin layer on the surface of the substrate by means of a body whose material at the surface with which the body contacts the liquid phase is inert in relation to the material of the liquid phase.
