Abstract

Czochralski's crystal growth method is applied especially for the growth of nearly perfect single crystals. The resulting crystal shape is determined by the melt meniscus. Its actual shape allows the derivation of signals for controlling the growth process. Crystal perfection and shape of the growing crystal is determined by the heat flow in the crystal and by the matter and heat flow in the melt. The generation of the defects during crystal growth and possible improvements of the crystal perfection either by the application of growth in a magnetic field or in micro-gravity are discussed.
