The feedback control of the vertical Bridgman crystal growth process by crucible rotation: two case studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we consider the feedback control of flows within the vertical Bridgman crystal growth process. We investigate the use of crucible rotation, via feedback control algorithms, in suppressing oscillatory flows in two prototypical vertical Bridgman crystal growth configurations—a laminar flow regime driven by a time-oscillatory furnace disturbance and a time-varying regime driven by strong buoyant f t c d ©

Crystal-Growth Technology for Ternary III-V Semiconductor Production by Vertical Bridgman and Vertical Gradient Freezing Methods with Accelerated Crucible Rotation Technique
Substrates of III-V ternary compound semiconductors with variable bandgaps orlattice constants still remain very attractive for a variety of electronic, optoelec-tronic, and photovoltaic devices. However, the commercial technology for growinglarge-diameter, compositionally homogeneous, bulk III-V ternary crystals has notbeen fully developed. This chapter discusses the fundamenta...
متن کاملReversing radial segregation and suppressing morphological instability during vertical Bridgman crystal growth by rotation
During vertical Bridgman growth of an alloy crystal, local accumulation of solute at the interface center due to buoyancy often causes formation of a deep depression or pit and accelerates morphological instability. Through visualization of the freezing interface during directional solidification of succinonitrile containing ethanol on a rotating table, it was shown that rotation about the ampo...
متن کاملThree-dimensional numerical simulation of temperature and flow fields in a Czochralski growth of germanium
For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...
متن کاملComparison of Two Approaches to Forced Convection in Crystal Growth
Hgl -,Cd,Te and Cdl -,Zn,Te single crystals were grown by the travelling heater method (THM), applying two different techniques of artificially stirring the solution zone. Accelerated crucible rotation (ACRT) was used in a vertical growth arrangement and compared a technique with constant rotation around the horizontal axis of the ampoule. The dominant hydrodynamic mechanisms of both methods ar...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of the Combined Influence of Accelerated Crucible Rotation and Dynamic Crucible Translation on Liquid Phase Diffusion Growth of SiGe
The effects of accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) and dynamic translation on liquid phase diffusion (LPD) growth of SixGe1−x single crystals have been separately investigated numerically in earlier works and were found to have a very positive impact on the LPD growth process. Building upon these findings, in this paper, we study the consequences of imposing both ACRT and dynamic tra...
