CGSim package for analysis and optimization of Cz, LEC, VCz, and Bridgman growth of semiconductor and semitransparent crystals
CGSim can be effectively applied to the following practical problems:
Control and optimization of the crystallization front geometry and V/G distribution by adjustment of the hot zone and growth parameters.
Increase of the crystallization rate with keeping high crystal quality.
Control over stress and defects in the growing crystal. Defect engineering via accurate adjustment of the heat shields.
Governing melt convection via crystal/crucible rotation rates, magnetic fields of various strength and orientation. Stabilization of convection in the melt while maintaining reasonable turbulent mixing.
Analysis of impurity transport in both the melt and gas. Prediction of oxygen and carbon containing species concentrations in Si CZ growth. Adjustment of growth conditions and modification of the hot zone aimed at providing desired impurity concentrations.
Adequate account of encapsulant, turbulent gas flow, and convective heat transport in liquid encapsulated growth.
Modelling support for design and optimization of new crystal growth setups.
