Abstract
A method comprises providing a cavity structure on the substrate comprising a first growth channel extending in a first direction, a second growth channel extending in a second direction, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction and the second channel is connected to the first channel at a channel junction, a first seed surface in the first channel, at least one opening for supplying precursor materials to the cavity structure, selectively growing from the first seed surface a first semiconductor structure substantially only in the first direction and in the first channel, thereby forming a second seed surface for a second semiconductor structure at the channel junction, growing in the second channel the second semiconductor structure in the second direction from the second seed surface, thereby forming the semiconductor junction comprising the first and the second semiconductor structure.
