Abstract
The adequacy of the model of high-temperature precipitation in dislocation-free silicon single crystals to the classical theory of nucleation and growth of second-phase particles in solids has been considered. It has been shown that the introduction and consideration of thermal conditions of crystal growth in the initial equations of the classical nucleation theory make it possible to explain the precipitation processes occurring in the high-temperature range and thus extend the theoretical basis of the application of the classical nucleation theory. According to the model of high-temperature precipitation, the smallest critical radius of oxygen and carbon precipitates is observed in the vicinity of the crystallization front. Cooling of the crystal is accompanied by the growth and coalescence of precipitates. During heat treatments, the nucleation of precipitates starts at low temperatures, whereas the growth and coalescence of precipitates occur with an increase in the temperature. It has been assumed that the high-temperature precipitation of impurities can determine the overall kinetics of defect formation in other dislocation-free single crystals of semiconductors and metals.
