67International Scientific Colloquium Modelling for Electromagnetic Processing Hannover, March 24-26, 2003 Modeling in Industrial Silicon Wafer Manufacturing - From Crystal Growth to Device Processes Th
Wetzel, J
Virbulis Abstract Silicon wafer manufacturing is one of the key processes that determine the yield and the profitability in semiconductor device production
The present paper gives an overview on vari-ous applications for numerical modeling in the wafer manufacturing process
It starts with ther-mal and convection models for the crystal growth process, both by the Czochralski (CZ) and the Floating Zone (FZ) method
Within this field, in particular modeling of electromagnetic field influence on melt flow has become an an indispensable means for the puller design and the process d
