Abstract

A method according to which a layer of a semiconductor material is made on a substrate by growth in a confinement space defined by this substrate and by a confinement layer, this growth being achieved from a seed. The cross-section of the seed, substantially perpendicular to the general direction of growth, possesses a thick central part framed by two thinned lateral parts. The confinement space has the same cross-section as the seed.
