摘要
We present, for the first time, 3D unsteady modeling of melt turbulent convection with prediction of the crystallization front geometry in vapor pressure controlled Czochralski growth of GaAs bulk crystals. A combined 2D/3D model is applied, which includes 2D computations for the entire puller providing appropriate boundary conditions for 3D unsteady simulations of flow and heat transfer in the melt, encapsulant, crystal, and crucibles. The model is verified using experimental data on the crystallization front geometry and by comparing the results obtained within the 2D and 3D approaches. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
