Abstract
This presentation will summarize the recent development of the hybrid electrodeposition process known as electrochemical liquid-liquid-solid (ec-LLS) crystal growth by our group. Three aspects will be covered in this presentation. First, the general premise behind ec-LLS and how ec-LLS melds conventional electrodeposition and melt growth for the purposes of controlled and low-temperature growth of crystalline inorganic solids. Second, the status of ec-LLS as a method to produce Group IV (Ge, Si, and alloys thereof) and Group III-V (GaAs, GaSb, InAs, InSb, and alloys thereof) semiconductor crystals will be presented. Special emphasis will be given to the deposition of nanowires, microwires, and epitaxial films. Third, a general outlook on the possibilities ec-LLS offers as a unique electrodeposition method will be given. Specifically, opportunities for quantitative melt crystal growth studies, the synthesis of other inorganic materials, and the prospects for ec-LLS as a means to produce directly functional devices will be discussed.
