Abstract

This chapter reviews growth and characterization of Czochralski silicon single crystals for semiconductor and solar cell applications. Magnetic-field-applied Czochralski growth systems and unidirectional solidification systems are the focus for large-scale integrated (LSI) circuits and solar applications, for which control of melt flow is a key issue to realize high-quality crystals.
