Methods, systems, and devices for on-die formation of single-crystal semiconductor structures are described. In some examples, a layer of semiconductor material may be deposited above one or more decks of memory cells and divided into a set of patches. A respective crystalline arrangement of each patch may be formed based on nearly or partially melting the semiconductor material, such that nucleation sites remain in the semiconductor material, from which respective crystalline arrangements may grow. Channel portions of transistors may be formed at least in part by doping regions of the crystalline arrangements of the semiconductor material. Accordingly, operation of the memory cells may be supported by lower circuitry (e.g., formed at least in part by doped portions of a crystalline semiconductor substrate), and upper circuitry (e.g., formed at least in part by doped portions of a semiconductor deposited over the memory cells and formed with a crystalline arrangement in-situ).

An epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of a III-nitride layer is used to cover a growth restrict mask deposited on a substrate, wherein the III-nitride ELO layer is grown with a low V/III ratio of less than 500 resulting in high-speed lateral growth as compared to low-speed vertical growth. The III-nitride ELO layer contains a large amount of impurities, over 1 × 10.sup.18 cm.sup.-3, which result in the III-nitride ELO layer comprising a coloring layer. The coloring layer absorbs light from an active region due to the large amount of impurities. When a bar of device layers is removed from the substrate, at least a portion of the coloring layer is removed from the bar. The elimination of the coloring layer reduces absorption losses, which makes the device characteristics improve.
