Bulk Growth of InSb and Related Ternary Alloys

A thermal elastic model for constrained crystal growth with facets

“…Where discernible, the dashed curve in the ECS plots correspond to the data in Table 2.1. We note that our model produces crystals with shapes similar to those grown by our industrial partner [18].…”

“…For these crystals, the effect of material anisotropy on thermal stress has been investigated by assuming axisymmetric cylindrical shape [6,20,26,27]. On the other hand, anisotropic effects such as facets are often visible on the surface of binary compound semiconductor crystals grown by these methods [18]. The effect of non-cylindrical shape on the thermal stress is therefore of practical interest.…”
