摘要: This chapter is concerned with growth of single crystals from melts semiconductors. In the case compound semiconductors, these are stoichiometric or nearly so. The production semiconductors in single-crystal form a core requirement almost all semiconductor device technology. As consequence, whole field crystal technology strongly driven and sensitive to commercial pressures related efficiency, quality, etc. Thus fuller understanding evolution particular requires an appreciation background subject. Only cursory consideration can be given aspects this chapter. Here we primarily principles concepts underlying melt.
