ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for crystal growth control in a Czochralski crystal pulling process are provided wherein a plurality of thermocouples and individually controllable heating elements are embedded in an upper control section of a raised platform in a crucible containing a melt from which the crystal is pulled. The upper control section is disposed in the melt at a height below the bulk level of the melt in the crucible and underneath the crystal being pulled so as to retain the thermocouples in a position to monitor the temperature distribution of the melt below a solidification front of the crystal, and to retain the individually controllable heating elements in a position whereby the heating elements may be selectively controlled to attain a predetermined temperature distribution in the melt in a region underneath the solidification front.
