Abstract:
Electrochemical liquid phase epitaxy (ec-LPE) processes and devices are provided that can form precipitated epitaxial crystalline films or layers on a substrate. The precipitated films may comprise a semiconductor, such as germanium, silicon, or carbon. Dissolution into, saturation within, and precipitation of the semiconductor from a liquid metal electrode (e.g., Hg pool) near an interface region with a substrate yields a polycrystalline semiconductor material deposited as an epitaxial film. Reactor cells for use in an electrochemical liquid phase epitaxy (ec-LPE) device are also provided that include porous membranes to facilitate formation of the precipitated epitaxial crystalline films.

Claim (Index 12):
The electrochemical liquid phase epitaxy (ec-LPE) device of  claim 11 , wherein the reactor cell further comprises a plate disposed between the porous membrane and the substrate, wherein the plate has one or more open regions that define the liquid metal electrode.
