We demonstrate epitaxial silicon growth of 8 {Angstrom}/s at temperatures as low as 195&hthinsp;{degree}C, using hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. Characterization by transmission electron microscopy shows epitaxial layers of Si. We briefly discuss various aspects of the process parameter space. Finally, we consider differences in the chemical kinetics of this process when compared to other epitaxial deposition techniques. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
