Abstract

An analytic model is presented for laser beam induced solid-state crystal growth in silicon on sapphire. The model, which assumes a single activation energy, utilizes temperature profiles calculated from a Green's function solution to the heat equation. Calculated crystal growth in silicon on sapphire is compared to experimentally measured values.
