Hh. Richter et al., THERMAL-ANALYSIS ON ZONE-MELTING RECRYSTALLIZATION OF SILICON-ON-INSULATOR FILMS USING A FINITE-DIFFERENCE METHOD, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 173(1-2), 1993, pp. 59-62
The effects of important parameters on the zone-melting recrystallizat
ion process with a linear heat source were investigated numerically. L
n order to describe undercooling effects and the presence of a mixed p
hase during the melting and solidification process, an enthalpy formul
ation of the Stefan problem was chosen. The initial-boundary-value pro
blem for the determination of the temperature field and for the phase
fraction is solved by a finite difference method.
