Advances in nano-fabrication increase the need for high-quality single-crystalline gold-substrates that combine large areas to enable lithographic methods with low and tunable thickness. We present a simple recipe to chemically grow high quality single-crystalline gold-platelets with thicknesses of less than 20 nm combined with edge lengths up to 0.2 mm . The reactants are tuned and their impact on the growth-velocities of height and lateral size is statistically investigated. By varying the chemical environment during growth, the thickness can be tuned independently of the lateral size.
