Agglomeration has occurred during zone-melting to obtain single-crystal germanium layers because of insufficient wettability between germanium and silicon-dioxide. The agglomeration could be suppressed by controlling the capping layer thickness, germanium layer thickness, and the island shape. A rotation of crystal orientation was found in the stripe shape island, which was presumably caused by the stress relieving within an island.
