摘要
Professional crystal growth simulation software CGSim was used to simulate the solid-liquid interface shape and its variation during the GaAs crystal growth process grown by Vertical Gradient Freeze (VGF). The heat flux and its variation of different positions on solid-liquid interface were analyzed, and then with the use of energy conservation relation, the effect of temperature gradient on the shape of solid-liquid interface was analyzed, which improved the mathematical relationship between the interface shape and the temperature field deduced by predecessors based on ignoring solidification latent heat. The results showed that the difference of heat flux of different points on interface resulted in the different growth rates on different points, which formed the shape of solid-liquid interface with different deflections. Hall Effect Measurement was used to test the distribution of carrier concentration on GaAs crystal. Under this method, the effect of interface shape on electrical uniformity of crystal wafers was analyzed. The result showed that for the solute of which the separation coefficient k0 was less than 1, the distribution of carrier concentration was more uniform on the wafers with a flat shape interface, and the carrier concentration increased with the increase of radial distance for the convex shape interface while it was opposite to the concave shape interface. The distribution of carrier concentration on a wafer was more heterogeneous with the increase of deflection of solid-liquid interface. © Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Rare Metals.
