Abstract

Abstract A method for growing semiconductor material on insulating or conducting substrates or in small apertures in insulating or conducting substrates is disclosed. The method comprises masking the surface of a nucleating semiconductor substrate with an appropriately apertured mask, epitaxially growing semiconductor material through the apertures and separating the mask with its grown semiconductor material from the nucleating substrate to produce either discrete crystals in a substrate or a crystal wafer on a substrate.
