Effect of Gallium Addition on Density Variation of Molten Silicon

Abstract
Density measurement of molten silicon added with gallium has been performed in a temperature range from the melting point to 1650° C by using an improved Archimedian method. No deviation from calculation was found with gallium introduction except when 25 at.% was added. Precise density measurement with 0.1 at.%Ga-doping near the melting temperature shows no sign of the “density anomaly” observed for pure silicon.
