WHAT DOES EPITAXY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

epitaxy

Epitaxy

Epitaxy refers to the deposition of a crystalline overlayer on a crystalline substrate, where there is registry between the overlayer and the substrate. The overlayer is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The term epitaxy comes from the Greek roots epi, meaning "above", and taxis, meaning "an ordered manner". It can be translated as "arranging upon". For most technological applications, it is desired that the deposited material form a crystalline overlayer that has one well-defined orientation with respect to the substrate crystal structure. Epitaxial films may be grown from gaseous or liquid precursors. Because the substrate acts as a seed crystal, the deposited film may lock into one or more crystallographic orientations with respect to the substrate crystal. If the overlayer either forms a random orientation with respect to the substrate or does not form an ordered overlayer, it is termed non-epitaxial growth. If an epitaxial film is deposited on a substrate of the same composition, the process is called homoepitaxy; otherwise it is called heteroepitaxy.

Definition of epitaxy in the English dictionary

The definition of epitaxy in the dictionary is the growth of a thin layer on the surface of a crystal so that the layer has the same structure as the underlying crystal.
