| Popis: | Large calcium fluoride (CaF/sub 2/) single crystals are required for the fabrication of lenses in the so-called wafer-steppers of future IC- lithography technologies operating at 193 nm and 157 nm. Numerical simulation plays an important role in designing an adequate growth set- up and processing conditions for the growth of high quality crystals. An important issue is the consideration of the internal heat transfer by radiation in the semitransparent CaF/sub 2/ during the crystal growth process. Results of the numerical modeling of the heat transport are presented, which are obtained by using the software package CrysVUn++ with different models considering the internal heat transport in CaF/sub 2/. To improve the availability of experimental data on CaF/sub 2/ bulk growth, an especially designed R&D facility was built. This growth system is equipped with a variety of in-situ measurement systems to detect the temperature distributions in the crystal and melt region. Calculated temperature distributions are compared with experimental data. Also the first results on single crystal growth are reported. |
