This chapter gives an overview of the important defect types and their origins during bulk crystal growth from the melt. The main thermodynamic and kinetic principles are considered as driving forces of defect generation and incorporation, respectively. Results of modeling and practical in situ control are presented. Strong emphasis is given to semiconductor crystal growth since it is from this class of materials that most has been first learned, the resulting knowledge then having been applied to other classes of material.
