Usually, one speaks of epitaxial growth in cases where the stmcture of a film grown from the gas phase is essentially determined by the structure of the substrate. Epitaxy in the precise sense means that the crystal structure of the substrate is continued within the growing fUm. This is possible when the crystal stractures of the substrate and the growing film are commensurate. Examples are shown in Eigs. 1.9 and 2.23. Frequently, one refers also to Organic Molecular-Beam Epitaxy, OMBE. 

For some elements, there are a variety of possible precursors, sulfur for instance (Fig. 8). Metal-organic precursors, such as used in metaUo organic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) or metallo organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), are possible precursors that can be used, if they can be made soluble in water or if a nonaqueous solvent were used. Mixed aqueous-organic solvents could improve solubility. Overah, there would be an increased probabihty of carbon contamination. One of the benefits...
