Epitaxy: Applications, Methods & Minerals

Epitaxy (prefix epi- means "on top of") is a type of crystal growth or material deposition in which new crystalline layers are formed with one or more well-defined orientations with respect to the crystalline seed layer. The deposited crystalline film is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The relative orientation(s) of the epitaxial layer to…
