Abstract

A thermodynamic model derived from atomic scale statistics is formulated for the crystal–melt interface where oxygen segregation occurs during silicon crystal growth by the Czochralski method. The model shows that the segregation coefficient is close to but less than unity. Approaches for controlling oxygen concentration in the resulted crystal are discussed.
