In this study, a multi-component flow model is proposed that includes the inside and outside of a growth chamber and a joint between the seed crystal holder and crucible which allows exchanges of the gas species. The joint is simulated as a thin porous graphite sheet. The Hertz-Knudsen equation is used to describe the sublimation and deposition. The convection and diffusion are described by the Navier–Stokes equations and mixture-averaged diffusion model, in which the Stefan flow is taken into account. The numerical simulations are conducted by the finite element method (FEM) with a multi-physics coupled model, which is able to predict the fluid flow field, species distribution field, crystal growth rate, and evolution of the molar concentration of dopant gas.
