“…Such an evaluation of the various force expressions is of obvious interest since the different force descriptions are in growing use for the analysis of TMF flows [2][3][4][5][7][8][9][10]. numerical one for the two values S ¼ 0:5 and 5 of the shielding parameter.…”

“…Applying the TMF to the vertical gradient freeze (VGF) growth of semiconductor single crystals, the heat and mass transport in the melt can be tailored for a growth under optimized flow conditions to improve crystal properties and/or growth yield. Consequently, the application of a TMF has recently found growing interest in crystal growth processes [1][2][3][4]. The beneficial effect of an adequately adjusted TMF-induced flow was demonstrated, e.g., in Ref.…”

“…Schwesig et al [8] compared numerically the effects of rotating and traveling magnetic fields on interface shape and thermal stress in the VGF growth of 2 00 InP crystals. Time-dependent magnetic fields have shown to be very promising for flow control in semiconductor melts, as they can be used to actively force melt flow into desired directions with relatively low magnetic fields compared to the use of stationary magnetic fields, where the influence on the flow is only a passive one.…”

Today, the growth of crystals having dimensions of some hundred millimeters in diameter and weights over 200 kg under extreme pure conditions is well‐matured in industrial scale. The major user of the crystals is the electronics industry. Growth of crystals demands theoretical knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport processes. In practice, some general aspects have to be considered, including choice of raw materials, conditions, methods, and characterization. The industrial and laboratory techniques of crystal growth are discussed. Economical aspects dominate the developments in the future, that is, growing of larger crystals at higher quality to raise yields and device performance. Furthermore, the demand for tighter specifications and increasing range of materials and uses will require more sophisticated methods and an extensive use of automation.
