Abstract
A method for growing a single-crystal region of a III-V compound on a surface corresponding to a crystallographic plane of a single-crystal silicon substrate, including the steps of growing by epitaxy on the substrate a single-crystal germanium layer; etching in a portion of the thickness of the germanium layer an opening, the bottom of which corresponds to a single surface inclined with respect to the cristallographic plane or to several surfaces inclined with respect to the cristallographic plane; and growing the single-crystal III-V compound on the bottom of the opening.
