Abstract

An electric current is used to create and maintain a linear molten zone in silicon. The electrical signature of the electric molten zone (EMZ) is described in detail. The measurement of the EMZ width as a function of operational parameters has shown good agreement with published data on the electrical conductivity of liquid silicon, and suggests a simple method for the estimation of the width of the EMZ from the electrical data.
