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 15):
The electrochemical liquid phase epitaxy (ec-LPE) device of  claim 11 , wherein the porous membrane comprises silicon carbide (SiC) and has an average surface pore size of greater than or equal to about 150 nm and less than or equal to about 250 nm.
