Abstract

This investigation treats the flow of molten gallium-antimonide and the dopant transport during the vertical gradient freezing process using submerged heater growth. A rotating magnetic field or a combination of steady magnetic and steady electric fields is used to control the melt motion. This paper compares the effects of these externally applied fields on the transport in the melt and on the dopant segregation in the crystal. Crystal growth in a combination of steady magnetic and electric fields produces a crystal with more radial and axial dopant homogeneity than growth in a rotating magnetic field.
