Abstract
Highly textured [111] oriented films such as MgO crystalline films are deposited by e-beam evaporation on ordinary soda-lime glass. Semiconductor films such as silicon can be deposited on these MgO films using eutectics at temperatures below the softening point of ordinary glass and having extremely high textured and strong [111] orientation. The invention may be used for efficient and cost effective solar cells, displays, etc.
