Ever since the Polish scientist Jan Czochralski discovered a way to crystallize metals in 1915, the technique that eventually becomes known as the Czochralski method to grow high-purity semiconductors ...

Research from the Chin-Yi University of Technology in Taiwan revealed a novel heater design in the Czochralski silicon crystal growth process that can control and decrease oxygen concentration without ...

Researchers in Taiwan have discovered that in polysilicon production the crucible angular speed affects the oxygen concentration near the crucible wall, which in turn affects the wafers’ mechanical ...
