Abstract:
Si infiltrated SiAlON substrates were tape-casted and sintered froma
SiAlON slurry with additional crystalline Si. The crystalline Si in
the
matrix of the substrate acts as seeds for epitaxial growth. Silicon
layers
were deposited by liquid phase epitaxy on these substrates. A closed
layer
could be grown from a saturated Ga/Al solution on Si infiltrated SiAlON
with
42% Si. The crystals forming the layer are faceted and reach sizes
of more
than 100 mum in diameter. This layer is highly p doped because of the
incorporation of Ga and Al. 11 refs.
