Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates to a liquid phase epitaxy method of fabricating on a substrate a layer having a taper adjacent a zone of uniform thickness. The method comprises the steps of positioning a mask in closely spaced relation over a portion of the substrate and bringing a saturated source solution into contact with the substrate while maintaining a controlled cooling program for a time period which is effective to grow the layer to the desired thickness. The taper is formed adjacent the edges of the mask.
