HEATER POWER IN CZOCHRALSKI GROWTH OF OXIDE CRYSTALS OF CONSTANT RADII

The behaviour of heater power in Czochralski growth of oxide crystals of constant radii with the use of induction heating has been analyzed. The main factors affecting the heater power during growth of crystals of constant radii are established and analyzed. It is shown that the power necessary for the growth of crystals of constant radii is an int egral parameter which can be used to predict the quality of a growing crystal, to identify the group of materials to which this crystal belo ngs, and to estimate the appropriateness of the chosen growth conditio ns and the crystallizer design.
