Abstract:
1. Method for growing islands of semiconductor monocrystals from a solution on an amorphous substrate, the method comprising the procedures of: depositing a semiconductor-metal mixture layer having a non-crystalline structure, including a semiconductor component and at least one other metal component, on top of said amorphous substrate; applying lithography and etching to said semiconductor-metal mixture layer and a portion of said amorphous substrate for forming at least one platform, said at least one platform having a top view shape corresponding to a crystal growth direction and a habit respective of said semiconductor component; heating said amorphous substrate, thereby heating each at least one platform simultaneously until said semiconductor-metal mixture layer of each said at least one platform is melted and becomes a semiconductor-metal solution; and saturating said semiconductor-metal solution until a monocrystal of said semiconductor component is formed from said semiconductor-metal solution on each of said at least one platform.
