Influence of pyrolytic boron nitride crucibles on GaAs crystal growth process and crystal properties

Morphology control of hexagonal boron nitride by a silane coupling agent

“…There are several polymorphs of BN such as hexagonal BN (h-BN), rhombohedral BN (r-BN), cubic BN (c-BN), wurtzite BN (w-BN), orthorhombic BN (o-BN), turbostratic BN (t-BN) and amorphous BN (a-BN) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Influence of carbon coated pBN crucible on crystal growth of Cd0.9Zn0.1Te for radiation detector applications

“…One disadvantage of pBN crucibles is associated with the crucible material interacting with the melt during the growth cycle. It has been presented for III-V materials that the texture of a pBN crucible can have an influence on the crystal growth and that the crucible does interact with the melt from cycle to cycle as observed by particulates in the surface of the ingot [11]. However, exactly how and if this affects the actual material quality is not yet certain.…”

Boron and Nitrogen in GaAs and InP Melts Equilibrated with B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> Flux

“…2,6) Effects of boron on electrical properties have also been reported. 7) It is known that boron and carbon contents can be decreased by decreasing the water content of the B 2 O 3 flux 3,8,9) or increasing the strength of the magnetic field. 10) These methods, however, cannot control the carbon and boron contents independently.…”
