The method of zone recrystallization with a temperature gradient (ZRTG) provides quasi-equilibrium conditions of growth and makes it possible to obtain perfect epitaxial films of different semiconductor materials. The authors investigated the possibility of the ZRTG method for growing silicon and gallium arsenide films on moving orienting and nonorienting substrates. The growth from a solution in a melt on a moving substrate was unstable. The instability is associated with the trapping of the liquid phase from the container. In the static state, however, it was possible to obtain large-block textured silicon and gallium arsenide films on graphite substrates.
