The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the various data mining and supervised machine learning techniques: correlation analysis, k-means clustering, principal component analysis and decision trees (regression and classification), to derive, optimize and understand the factors influencing VGF-GaAs growth. Training data were generated by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and consisted of 130 datasets with 6 inputs (growth rate and power of 5 heaters) and 5 outputs (interface position and deflection, and temperatures at various positions in GaAs). Data mining results confirmed a good dispersion of the training data without the feasibility of a dimensionality reduction. Data clustering was observed in relation to the position of the crystallization front relative to the side heaters. Based on the statistical performance criteria and training results, decision trees identified the most decisive inputs and their ranges for a favorable interface shape and to keep GaAs temperature beyond limits for heavy arsenic evaporation. Decision trees are a recommendable machine learning technique with short training times and acceptable predictive accuracy based on small volume of CFD training data, capable of providing guidelines for understanding the crystal growth process, which is a prerequisite for the growth of low-cost, high-quality bulk crystals. |
