Abstract
Analysis of heat transfer in the floating zone (FZ) crystal growth sys tem with a radio-frequency (RF) induction heating is carried out, usin g the hybrid finite element and boundary element method for calculatio n of the electromagnetic and temperature fields, and applying the coor dinate transformation method to represent exactly the unknown shapes o f phase boundaries in the system. The effects of processing parameters , such as the RF current frequency, on FZ growth is investigated numer ically, and a diagram for the upper and lower limits of the current de nsity in the RF coil between which the molten zone can be stable is pr oposed.
