Numerical simulation of liquid phase electro-epitaxial selective area growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computational model for semiconductor crystal growth on a partially masked substrate under simplified liquid phase electroepitaxy conditions is developed. The model assumes isothermal diffusional growth, which is enhanced by applied DC current through crystal-solution interface. A finite-difference, front-tracking method is used to numerically evolve the interface. Computed examples show strong influence of the electromigration on growth rates in vertical and lateral directions and the dependence of growth on electrical resistance of mask material, and on the wetting contact angle. r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Detection of Polymer Brushes developed via Single Crystal Growth
Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...

متن کاملNumerical Study of Electro-thermo-convection in a Differentially Heated Cavity Filled with a Dielectric Liquid Subjected to Partial Unipolar Injection
The Coulomb force applied by an electric field on any charge present in a dielectric liquid may cause fluid motion. At high applied electric fields in an insulating liquid, electric charge carriers are created at metallic/liquid interfaces, a process referred to as ion injection, and result from electrochemical reactions. In this article we deals with the problem of electro thermal convection i...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
