Abstract

A method of producing patterned epitaxial silicon films and devices fabricated thereby is described. The method forms a first layer of a refractory material on a substrate and pattern delineates the first layer. Silicon is then deposited at a temperature within the range between 400 degrees C. and 700 degrees C. and the polycrystalline material that forms is removed.
