| Epitaxial growth | Electrical Engineering | 1: The growth of semiconductor material on the surface of a single crystal of the same material such that the structure of the grown material exactly follows that of the original material. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| 2: In the epitaxial process, a semiconductor crystal is grown from the vapor phase by deposition on a substrate crystal. Source: European Union. (references) | |||
| Epitaxial growth | Energy | In reference to solar photovoltaic devices, the growth of one crystal on the surface of another crystal. The growth of the deposited crystal is oriented by the lattice structure of the original crystal. (references) | |
| Epitaxial growth step | Electrical Engineering | A discontinuity in a layer of semiconductor growing on the surface of a substrate by the epitaxial process, which proceeds by lateral spreading of such steps in building up the layer. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Epitaxial growth technique | Electrical Engineering | A method of causing epitaxial growth on a semiconductor crystal, generally by high-temperature deposition. Source: European Union. (references) | |
