Coordination Polyhedra

The growth rate is based on a coordinate polyhedron model This is capable of naturally explaining the different growth rates between the positive and negative directions in a polar crystal such as the III-V semiconductors If AB is the III-V semiconductor under consideration, then its anion-coordination polyhedra are AB6−

B atoms in the unit cell but not included in the four growth units are represented with hollow circles.

Within the crystal Ω, the temperature T(x, t) satisfies the heat equation, ρscs ∂T ∂t = ∇ · (κs∇T) , x ∈ Ω, t > 0 where ρs, cs and ks are the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of the crystal. The boundary conditions are below, −κs ∂T ∂n = hgs(T − Tg) + hF(T 4 − T 4

Basic Equations

The crystal/melt interface is denoted ΓS and is where T = Tm, the melting temperature. Explicitly we denote the melting isotherm by z − S(x, t) = 0, x ∈ ΓS. The motion of the interface of the phase transition is governed by the Stefan condition ρsL|vn| = κs ∂T ∂n

|vn| = vn = ∂S ∂t k · n where L is the latent heat, |vn| is the speed of the interface in the direction of its outward normal n, and ql,n is the heat flux from the melt normal to the interface. The speed ∂S/∂t is the speed of the interface S in the k direction.

Basic Relations

For a crystal with cubic symmetry the stresses σ = (σxx, σyy, σzz, σyz, σxz, σxy)T and strains e = (exx, eyy, ezz, 2eyz, 2exz, 2exy)T are related through σ = Crecte, Crect =         C11 C12 C12 C12 C11 C12 C12 C12 C11 C44 C44 C44         . For an anisotropic material the quantity H = 2C44 − C11 + C12 = 0. We assume that the z-component of the displacement is zero because of the free surface at the melt.

Operator Splitting

Denote the displacement vector as w, the strain by e = S(w) and the stress by σ = CS(w) with C = C0 − Ca. The thermoelastic problem becomes ∇ · CS = (C11 + 2C12)∇Θ, x ∈ Ω, t > 0, CS · n = (C11 + 2C12)Θn, r = R(φ, z)

Operator Splitting

Using the form of C, ∇ · CS = ∇ · C0S − ∇ · CaS = L0 − La, CS · n = C0S · n − CaS · n = B0 − Ba, to solve for w(x) one starts with w0 given by L0(w0) = 1 − ν 1 − 2ν − H 2

We know w0 explicitly for a given crystal shape R(φ, z). Having defined w0, we denote by wk+1 = Nwk, with k ≥ 0, the solution to L0(wk+1) = La(wk), x ∈ Ω, t > 0, B0(wk+1) = Ba(wk), r = R(φ, z).

Perturbation Series

Continuing this process we have for w(x) w = w0 + Nw0 + N 2w0 + · · · + N nw0 + · · · . Since N ≤ ω in a suitable norm, where ω = |H|/2 C11 − C12 + H/2 = |2C44 − C11 + C12| 2C44 + C11 − C12 < 1 is an anisotropic factor, the series converges and an error can be estimated when replaced by a finite sum.

Perturbation Series

For a given pulling direction C0 is invariant however, the explicit form of Ca depends on the crystal orientation Consequently La and Ba depend on the orientation Ca transforms as a fourth rank tensor and includes only trigonometric factors cos mφ and sin mφ where m depends on the orientation of the crystal For example, if (c4, s4) = (cos 4φ, sin 4φ) then C [001]

Plane Strain

To illustrate the procedure assume that the displacement is only in the (r, φ) plane. Stress strain relation for the [001] direction becomes   σa,rr σa,φφ σa,rφ   = H 4   1 + c4 1 − c4 −s4 1 − c4 1 + c4 s4 −s4 s4 −c4     err eφφ 2erφ   .

A Canonical Problem

To find w0 + w1 = w0 + Nw0 the thermoelastic equations L0(w1) = La(w0), x ∈ Ω, t > 0, B0(w1) = Ba(w0), r = R(φ, z) reduce to finding sequence of solutions of the form ∂σrr ∂r + 1 r ∂σrφ ∂φ + σrr − σφφ r = frrk−2 cos(nφ + δ), r < ¯ R(z), ∂σrφ ∂r + 1 r ∂σφφ ∂φ + 2σrφ r = fφrk−2 sin(nφ + δ), r < ¯ R(z), with integers n ≥ 0, k ≥ 1, and σrr = grrk−1 cos(nφ + δ), r = ¯ R(z), σrφ = gφrk−1 sin(nφ + δ), r = ¯ R(z), where fr, fφ, gr, gφ depend on Ca.

A Canonical Problem

We solve this with a two stage approach.

1

Find a particular solution that does not necessarily satisfy the boundary condition

2

Find a homogeneous solution with a (perhaps) modified boundary condition The point here is that the solution can be written out explicitly for general fr, fφ, gr, gφ so that the problem becomes a bookkeeping problem. Fast

Conclusions

A simple argument based on the crystal lattice structure predicts facets that depend on both the crystal orientation and growth angle Small opening angles tend to suppress the formation of facets The model naturally incorporates the polarity of III-V semiconductors Facet formation greatly affects the thermal stress distribution Anisotropy has a lesser effect when the crystal has facets The industry preference of the [¯ 211] pulling direction, determined by trial and error, produces facets yet avoids the drastic increase in the stress seen in the [¯ 1¯ 1¯ 1] orientation. Furthermore, effect of the material anisotropy is negligible in this case
