| Abstract | In this paper a numerical model is investigated to predict and optimize the quality of Czochralski-grown silicon single crystals. The different mechanisms governing the formation, transport, recombination, nucleation and growth of point- and micro-defects in the crystal are put together with a view to getting a reliable picture of the entire set of physical effects governing the crystal quality. Numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate the model predictions. |
