Description:
A main source of high carbon levels in silicon crystals grown from melt under reduced pressures and contained in silica crucibles supported by graphite retainer/susceptor was identified by thermodynamic analysis. The calculations were verified by experimental results and the carbon level is reduced by approximately 50% with the use of molybdenum retainers.
