Cristobalite formation on quartz crucibles inner surface for
Cristobalite the stable high temperature polymorph of quartz is formed on the surface of fused quartz crucibles used for the growth of monocrystalline silicon ingots by the Czochralski process When not controlled and occurring locally cristobalite can flocculate and enter the melt introducing possible defects and structure losses at the solidification front This is detrimental
Preparation of Cristobalite and Its Thermal Characteristics
The Characteristics of Cristobalite The XRD patterns of the fused silica ceramic are shown in Fig 1; it reveals that the ceramic is composed of glass phase and small amounts of quartz phase which is drastically different from the other hand an intensity diffraction peak appeared at 2θ = 22° after the ceramic had been heated at 1 500 °C consistent with the first
