Abstract
Traveling heater method (THM) falls into the category of solution growth, and is a relatively new, promising technique for commercial production of high quality, bulk compound and alloy semiconductors. Due to its importance, a number of experimental and theoretical studies are carried out for the THM growth process. This chapter presents the recent developments in modeling of THM, particularly during the last two decades. The basic theoretical considerations regarding the modeling issues are presented first. Then, two and three dimensional simulation models and numerical simulation results are presented for binary and ternary systems. The challenges in modeling of the THM growth of ternary systems are emphasized. The use of static and rotating magnetic fields has also found a great interest in THM. The models under static and strong magnetic fields, and also those under weak and rotating magnetic fields are analyzed.
