Seed Crystal for Silicon Growth
A silicon seed crystal is a high-purity, single-crystal silicon rod used as the foundation for growing larger monocrystalline silicon ingots through the Czochralski (CZ) process . This process involves dipping a precisely oriented seed crystal into molten silicon and slowly pulling it upward while rotating, resulting in a cylindrical ingot with uniform crystallinity Silicon seed crystals are critical in semiconductor manufacturing, where they enable the production of wafers for microchips, power devices, and solar cells.
  • Ultra-high purity (up to 11N, 99.999999999%) to ensure electronic performance .
  • Doping capabilities (e.g., boron for p-type or phosphorus for n-type) to tailor conductivity .
  • Precision diameters (e.g., 200mm/300mm) to meet industry standards for wafer fabrication.
