摘要
Silicon wafers for the photovoltaic industry are produced by growing thin octagonal tubes by the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) process. The thermal origin of the wafer thickness variations was studied with a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic induction model. The implementation of the computer code and the significance of the computed results for improving the thickness uniformity are discussed.
