ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to alternative methods for the production of crystalline silicon compounds and/or alloys such as silicon carbide layers and substrates. In one embodiment, a method of the present invention comprises heating a porous silicon deposition surface of a porous silicon substrate to a temperature operable for epitaxial deposition of at least one atom or molecule, contacting the porous silicon deposition surface with a reactive gas mixture comprising at least one chemical species comprising a group IV element and at least one silicon chemical species, and depositing a silicon-group IV element layer on the porous silicon deposition surface. In another embodiment, the chemical species comprising a group IV element can be replaced with a transition metal species to form a silicon silicide layer.
