Abstract

See full text

A system for depositing a film on a substrate comprises a lateral control shutter disposed between the substrate and a material source. The lateral control shutter is configured to block some predetermined portion of source material to prevent deposition of source material onto undesirable portion of the substrate. One of the lateral control shutter or the substrate moves with respect to the other to facilitate moving a lateral growth boundary originating from one or more seed crystals. A lateral epitaxial deposition across the substrate ensues, by having an advancing growth front that expands grain size and forms a single crystal film on the surface of the substrate.
