Melt flow instability and vortex structures in Czochralski growth under steady magnetic fields
2002
Abstract The hydrodynamics of melt motion in the CZ-process of silicon single crystal growth in axial and axial–radial magnetic fields is studied using a physical model. The modeling liquid is eutectics InGaSn. Most attention is paid to the problem of flow stability. A multi-channel system gathering data is used to define the pattern and dynamics of velocity disturbances. Instant spatial distributions of the electric potential induced by motion in the melt are obtained. Temporal evolution of the instant distributions in vertical and horizontal planes of the working volume is under investigation.
Numerical 3D modelling of turbulent melt flow in a large CZ system with horizontal DC magnetic field. II. Comparison with measurements
2004
This paper presents a comparison between numerically calculated and measured temperature distributions in turbulent flow in a laboratory model for a CZ large silicon single crystal industrial growth system with a horizontal DC magnetic field. The laboratory model consists of an electrically heated 20” crucible with low-temperature InGaSn melt, a water-cooled metallic crystal model, and a magnet system creating a horizontal magnetic field in the range 0–. Distributions of time-averaged temperature values in various cross sections in the melt are obtained from measurements by a multichannel thermocouple system. A 3D numerical model for the scalar potential induced in the melt by the velocity …
Physical modelling of the melt flow during large-diameter silicon single crystal growth
2003
Abstract The reported investigations concern physical modelling of Czochralski growth of silicon large-diameter single crystals. InGaSn eutectic was used as a modelling liquid, employing actual criteria of the real process (Prandtl, Reynolds, Grashof numbers, etc.) and geometric similarity. A multi-channel measuring system was used to collect and process the temperature and flow velocity data. The investigations were focused on the study of heat transfer, in particular, the instability of the “cold zone” of the melt at the crystallization front.
Numerical 2D modelling of turbulent melt flow in CZ system with dynamic magnetic fields
2004
Abstract The paper presents results of 2D axisymmetric mathematical modelling of laboratory CZ model facility that corresponds well to a large industrial silicon CZ growth system. The purpose of the investigation is to examine turbulent melt flow features that develop in the model crucible, when various dynamic magnetic fields (travelling, alternating) are applied, and to test the applicability of the modified low Re k–e turbulence model for the calculation of flows in these cases by extensive comparisons between calculated and measured data. The electromagnetic field is calculated with a self-developed program, and the calculations of the melt motion are carried out with the user modified …
