Abstract

Si-Ge monocrystals up to 50 mm diameter and up to 17 at% germanium were grown using a modified Czochralski technique. Pre-grown large diameter silicon seeds with various crystallographic orientations were used as templates for the alloy solidification to reduce cap crystallization time and insure monocrystallinity at desired diameters. Discussed are the influences that seed preparation, crystal growing parameters, and post-growth processing have on the material that was produced using this new technique.
