A global simulation model is applied for a silicon carbide growth system heated by induction coils. A finitevolume method (FVM) and a global model are applied to solve the equations for electromagnetic field, conductive and radiative heat transfer. The growth rate is predicted by Hertz-Knudsen equation and onedimensional mass transfer equation. Further, simulations for five different coil positions are carried out to investigate the effects of coil position on temperature distribution in the furnace. The numerical results reveal that the variation of temperature in the radial direction along the substrate surface and the temperature difference between the powder and substrate are greatly affected by the coil position. The predicted growth rate along the substrate surface for five coil positions is also studied. Finally, a reasonable range of coil positions maintaining a balance between large-diameter crystal, high growth rate, temperature limitation of material and lower electrical power consumption is obtained.
Heat and mass transfer during crystal growth of bulk Si and nitrides by using numerical analysis was studied. A three-dimensional analysis was carried out to investigate temperature distribution and solid-liquid interface shape of silicon for large-scale integrated circuits and photovoltaic silicon. The analysis enables prediction of the solid-liquid interface shape of silicon crystals. The result shows that the interface shape became bevel like structure in the case without crystal rotation. We also carried out analysis of nitrogen transfer in gallium melt during crystal growth of gallium nitride using liquid-phase epitaxy. The result shows that the growth rate at the center was smaller than that at the center.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
