Crystalline materials at both the macro- and nanoscale have attracted growing interest due to their competitive advantages in cutting-edge applications. This literature review examines two representative crystal growth techniques—the heat exchange method and chemical vapor deposition—along with their prominent applications: high-quality bulk crystalline silicon and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) crystalline nanofilms. The review provides an overview of the general mechanisms, the developmental trajectories of each method, their current status, and future prospects, with the aim of understanding the associated challenges, limitations, and emerging opportunities.
