We propose the simple codoping method for improving the productivity of silicon single-crystal growth by controlling axial specific resistivity distribution. Numerical simulations have been performed to study the transport phenomena of dopant impurities in conventional and proposed Bridgman silicon growth using the finite element method and implicit Euler time integration. It has been demonstrated using mathematical models and by numerical analysis that the axial specific resistivity distribution can be modified in horizontal Bridgman silicon growth and relatively uniform its profile is feasible by the proposed doping method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
