Abstract
Crystalline semiconductor material is produced in strip or sheet form by a gas process. The corresponding amorphous semiconductor is vapour deposited on to a substrate material which is subsequently removed from the amorphous semiconductor. The semiconductor is then selectively heated to induce crystallization. Devices may be fabricated on the crystalline material in tandem with the deposition and crystallization processes.
