Epitaxial Growth of Silicon on Silicon Wafers by Direct Laser Melting

Additive manufacturing (AM) of brittle materials remains challenging, as they are prone to cracking due to the steep thermal gradients present during melting and cooling after laser exposition. Silicon is an ideal brittle material for study since most of the physical properties of single-element mat...
