"Das Wachstum [epitaxial] wird unterbrochen, und es wird ein Reflow-Prozess durchgeführt, bei dem die einkristallin, selektiv aufgewachsene Epitaxieschicht verflossen wird und eine Oberfläche annimmt. Der Reflow-Prozess wird bspw. bei einer Temperatur zwischen 950C und 1050C in wasserstoffhaltiger Atmosphäre durchgeführt, um das selektiv aufgewachsene Silizium zu verfliessen."

melt/melted
Explanation:
I haven´t seen this usage of verfliessen elsewhere. Zerfliessen is used.

However, it is clear from the context that it is melt (because this is the reflow process).
