Abstract: Silicon ribbon grown by the dendritic web process passes through a rapidly changing thermal profile in the growth direction. This rapidly changing profile induces stresses which cause buckling. ...

Abstract: This paper describes the numerical techniques that are used to predict stresses, strains, dislocation densities, and buckling during the growth of flat plate silicon. High quality silicon ribbon ...

Abstract: A stress analysis that describes the crystal growing process requires a material model that is valid over a wide temperature range and includes dislocation motion and multiplication. The stresses ...

Abstract: Sluice gates are widely used for flow control in open channels. Flow through the gate may be free or submerged depending on tailwater depth. One may determine whether the flow will be free or submerged by determining the ...
