crystal pulling technique

The crystal pulling technique, often called the Czochralski process, is a method used to grow large crystals from a melt. In this process, a small seed crystal is dipped into molten material, such as silicon or other substances. The seed is then slowly pulled upward while rotating, allowing the material to crystallize and grow around it. This technique is crucial in producing high-quality crystals for electronics, solar cells, and semiconductors, ensuring uniformity and desirable properties in the final products.
