Crystal Growth Behaviors of Silicon during Melt Growth Processes

Figure 9

(a) Growth behavior of two Si crystals with zigzag-faceted interfaces [41]. It is observed that the sharp corners on the faceted interfaces gradually disappear as the crystals grow. (b) Result of EBSP analysis of the sample shown in (a) [41]. The growth direction vertical to the line indicated in (b) is shown in color.
