Abstract

Amorphous silicon in contact with silver films and amorphous germanium in contact with aluminum films form crystalline precipitates when heated to temperatures well below those at which any liquid phase is present. Crystallization occurs by an initial dissolution of the semiconductor into the metal film solvent followed by the growth of crystals out of the solvent.
