French term or phrase: plot

Hello,

"...des techniques de croissance par épitaxie latérale de type ELO et MELO assuerent la croissance d'une couche mince sur un substrat germe, par l'intermédiare d'ouvertures formées dans un masque de croissance isolant électrique. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir des structures de type SOI localisées (Silicon On Insulator) par ce biais. Pour ce faire, un substrat support germe de silicium présentant en surface une couche en oxyde de silicium amorphe est tout d'abord formé. Puis des ouvertures dans la couche amorphe sont obtenues par gravure de sorte à former un masque de croissance. Une croissance tout d'abord verticle de plots de silicium monocristallin est réalisée à partir du substrat germe de silicium dans les ouvertures formées."

Would it be "stud" or "pad" in this context

Thank you in advance.
P.S. All the other "plot" threads do not correspond ;)

I'm not sure the longitudinal shape applies here? Maybe they are "pastille" shape?

plots layer areas

Explanation:
Alternative: "layer segments".
Explanation: "plot" often means "plate", "pin", or "rod". In the present context, I think it means small layer areas, which one may refer to as "layer segments" as well.
