The Rod Eutectic Growth Under Rapid Solidification Conditions, Xiao-Hua Xu, Ming-Wen Chen

International Journal of Thin Film Science and Technology

The Jackson–Hunt model of rod eutectic growth is extended from low velocities to high velocities in rapid solidification conditions. When the eutectic growth under rapid solidification conditions and the eutectic alloys contain the phases that have sluggish interface-attachment kinetics, the effect of interface kinetics on the eutectic growth is significant. The relation between the interface kinetics, growth velocity, rod spacing and interface undercooling can be derived. The results reveal that a small spacing and a large undercooling in the system require a large Peclet number p coupled with a small distribution coefficient k . The expressions 2V  and T …

Modelling Mass And Heat Transport During Gas Phase Epitaxy In A Reactor With Rotating Substrate. On Possibility To Improve Of Properties Of Films, E.L. Pankratov, E.A.Bulaeva

International Journal of Thin Film Science and Technology

In this paper we analysed convective diffusion processes in vertical and horizontal reactors for epitaxy from gas phase with disk substrate holder at atmosphere and low (~0.1 atmosphere) pressure. We formulate conditions to improve properties of grown structure. We introduce an analytical approach to solve equations of convective diffusion. We apply the obtained results for MOCVD of gallium arsenide. Epitaxy MOCVD could be used to growth of nanoscale semiconductor structures (quantum pits; arrays of quantum pits; structures with two-dimensional electronic gas). The same procedure could be also used to growth structures with higher dimensions.
