A method for fabricating a metastable crystalline structure is provided. The method includes providing a base substrate, wherein the base substrate comprises an insulating layer. The method further includes providing a metastable seed crystal on the base substrate, wherein the metastable seed crystal has a predefined metastable crystal phase or a predefined metastable composition. The method further includes forming a template structure above the base substrate, wherein the template structure covers at least a part of the metastable seed crystal. The method further includes growing the metastable crystalline structure with the predefined metastable crystal phase or the predefined metastable composition of the seed crystal inside the template structure. The growing of the metastable crystalline structure is nucleated from the seed crystal. Crystalline structures produced by the methods described herein are also provided.
