Variation of silicon melt viscosity with boron addition
The viscosity of silicon melts was measured by an oscillating cup technique. It has been found that the viscosity of silicon melts decreases by adding boron. The reduction of viscosity causes enhanced melt flow. This variation of melt flow enhances the chemical reaction between the silicon melt and...

Summary: | The viscosity of silicon melts was measured by an oscillating cup technique. It has been found that the viscosity of silicon melts decreases by adding boron. The reduction of viscosity causes enhanced melt flow. This variation of melt flow enhances the chemical reaction between the silicon melt and the quartz crucible. |
