Almost all electronic and optoelectronic devices need semiconducting materials of single crystalline structure. These materials are called single crystals, and are produced by a solidification process called crystal growth. Today, most bulk semiconductor single crystals are grown from the liquid phase by the growth processes known as the melt/solution techniques. These growth techniques have evolved from artisanship, relying very much on experience and intuition. Even today, this is the case in most techniques if not in all. The production of the same crystal twice is still a challenge. The applicant's research efforts have thus been focused on making these crystal growth techniques scientific so that the desired high quality crystals can be grown reproducibly. This is the main objective of the proposed research program.

几乎所有的电子和光电子器件都需要单晶结构的半导体材料。这些材料被称为单晶，并且通过称为晶体生长的固化过程产生。今天，大多数大块半导体单晶是通过称为熔体/溶液技术的生长工艺从液相生长的。这些增长技术是从手工艺发展而来的，非常依赖经验和直觉。即使在今天，这是大多数技术的情况下，如果不是在所有。两次生产相同的晶体仍然是一个挑战。因此，本申请人的研究工作集中在使这些晶体生长技术科学化，从而可以可重复地生长所需的高质量晶体。这是拟议研究计划的主要目标。
