The topic liquid-phase epitaxy is discussed in the following articles:
...but are important electronic materials. Because hydrogen is found in nature as a molecule rather than as a single atom, making atomic hydrogen gas is the major expense in growing CVD diamonds. Liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) uses the solution method to grow crystals on a substrate. The substrate is placed in a solution with a saturated concentration of solute. This technique is used to grow...
...material such as silicon or from gases such as silane (SiH4), which reacts with a hot surface to leave behind the silicon atoms and to release the hydrogen back into the gaseous phase. In liquid phase epitaxy layers grow from a liquid source (such as silicon doped with small amounts of another element) at a liquid-solid interface. In solid phase epitaxy a thin amorphous...
