Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for forming a crystal comprises applying a crystal forming treatment on a substrate having a free surface comprising a nonnucleation surface (SNDS) with small nucleation density and a nucleation surface (SNDL) exposed from said nonnucleation surface having a sufficiently small area for a crystal growing only from a single nucleus and having a greater nucleation density (NDL) than the nucleation density (NDS) of said nonnucleation surface (SNDS), thereby growing a single crystal from said single nucleus.
