The production of silicon wafers usually has the following steps:1) Crystal growth can be divided into Czochralski method (CZ) and zone fusion method (FZ). Since the molten polycrystalline material will directly contact the quartz crucible, the impurities in the quartz crucible will contaminate the Read More

Single crystal silicon wafer, referred to as silicon wafer, is a circular sheet-like material whose atoms have been artificially rearranged, and is a high-purity semiconductor material with a crystal orientation. Since silicon accounts for 26% of the mass of the earth's crust, single crystal silicon Read More
