i.e., they have been grown on a single-crystalline substrate, and principal trends, e.g., in the evolution of integrated circuits (lCs), have been based on continuing reduction in feature size and increase in the number of components per chip.

Anisotropy, i.e., the dependence of structure and properties on direction in space, is the most striking characteristic of crystals.
