Abstract: | The effect of evaporation of phosphorus impurities from the melt is investigated as well as the contaminating effect of quartz glass crucibles on residual content and distribution of this impurities by length of high‐purity germanium single crystals. The residual content of phosphorus impurities is mainly influenced by the contaminating effect of crucible material and its distribution by length of crystals is described by the model accounting for the impurities income from crucible material.
