The effect of substrate temperature, growth rate and film thickness on the crystallographic characteristics of polycrystalline Bi thin films by molecular beam epitaxy and semimetal–semiconductor transition are discussed. Meanwhile, a structure-zone model and a two-transport-channels model are introduced to explain the crystal growth characteristics and the semimetal–semiconductor transition.
