Modeling of Bulk Crystal Growth
For the modeling and analysis of bulk crystal growth STR offers two software packages: VR software for modeling of the growth from the vapor phase and CGSim software for modeling of the growth from the melt and solution. Among general capabilities, software can be used for detailed heat transfer modeling including radiant heat in semi-transparent crystals, simulation of gas and melt flow, crystal shape evolution, dislocation density and residual stress during the growth and cooling. Description of process-specific features can be found at the dedicated pages, see the list below.
