Epitaxy: The growth of a single crystal Silicon layer on the front side of the wafer (polished side) is something Silicon manufactures do all the time. This is a very difficult process and is prone to many defects. It is normally part of the Silicon manufacturing process, but it is also done at the IC manufacturing facilities. For this reason we will discuss this CVD film in more detail in another article.
