Distributin f Dpants As a crystal is pulld frm th mlt, th dping cncntratin incrpratd int th crystal (slid) is usually diffrnt frm th dping cncntratin f th mlt (liquid) at th intrfac. Th rati f ths tw cncntratins is dfind as th quilibrium sgrgatin cfficint,. s = (1) l Whr s and l ar, rspctivly, th quilibrium cncntratins f th dpants in th slid and liquid nar th intrfac. 2

Z rystal Grwth nsidr a crystal bing grwn frm a mlt having an initial wight M with an initial dping cncntratin in th mlt (i.., th wight f th dpant pr 1 g f mlt). At a givn pint f grwth whn th crystal wight M has bn grwn, th amunt f dpant rmaining in th mlt (by wight) is. Fr incrmntal amunt f th crystal with wight dm, th crrspnding rductin f th dpant (-d) frm th mlt is s dm, whr s is th dping cncntratin in th crystal (by wight). d = sdm (2) 4

Effctiv grgatin fficints Whil th crystal is grwing, dpants ar cnstantly bing rjctd int th mlt ( >1). If th rjctin rat is highr than th rat at which th dpant can b transprtd away by diffusin r stirring, thn a cncntratin gradint will dvlp at th intrfac. Th sgrgatin cfficint givn by q 1 is = s / l (0).
