Abstract

The process consists in depositing, by chemical vapour deposition using a mixture of silicon and germanium precursor gases, a single-crystal layer of silicon or germanium on a germanium or silicon substrate by decreasing or increasing the temperature in the range 800-450° C. and at the same time by increasing the Si/Ge or Ge/Si weight ratio from 0 to 100% in the precursor gas mixture, respectively.
