Simulation of the Process of Growing Semiconductor Single Crystals by the Czochralski Method
Abstract
The work is devoted to the creation of a virtual instrument in the LabVIEW environment, which makes it possible to simulate the process of growing a crystal depending on technological parameters. As the technological process under consideration, we chose the method of growing single crystals by pulling them up from the spare surface of a large volume of the melt with initiation of the onset of crystallization by introducing a seed crystal (or several crystals) of a given structure and crystallographic orientation, which is in contact with the spare surface of the melt (Czochralski method). The virtual instrument is intended for use by students and teachers in full-time mode and in distance learning.
