Xm. Huang et al., ANALYSIS OF AN OXYGEN DISSOLUTION PROCESS CONCERNING CZOCHRALSKI (CZ)SI CRYSTAL-GROWTH USING THE SESSILE DROP METHOD, JPN J A P 2, 37(2B), 1998, pp. 193-195
A new sessile drop method has been developed for measuring the oxygen
dissolution rate from silica glass to silicon melt. Compared to the ox
ygen dissolution rate obtained using a conventional measurement method
, a much larger value has been obtained with the sessile drop method.
The experimental accuracy of the sessile drop method was analyzed, and
it was found that the main error resulted from the weight change of a
blank silica plate following heat treatment. A rectification method w
as suggested.
