epitaxies

Example:The epitaxial growth of a silicon layer on a silicon substrate can be used to make high-performance semiconductor devices.

Definition:The process in which a crystal forms on a crystalline substrate with a crystal structure that matches that of the substrate, ensuring a uniform and well-ordered surface.

Example:Epitaxial layers are crucial for creating high-quality semiconductor devices with precise electronic properties.

Definition:A layer of material grown on a crystalline substrate such that the layer’s atoms are in a specific arrangement corresponding to the substrate’s atomic structure.

Example:Epitaxial films are often used in advanced microelectronic devices to achieve enhanced performance characteristics.

Definition:A thin film of atoms or molecules deposited on a crystal substrate in a manner that the film’s crystal structure is in perfect lattice match with the substrate’s.
