Crystal Grower

Superconducting magnets make it possible to grow large crystals for the Si wafer business economically. Superconductors do not only make the crystal growth systems more compact, but they also consume less energy. Consequently, the Si crystal industry was able to increase the diameter from 200 mm to 300 mm - thus more than doubling the surface area of Si wafers. Luvata supplies superconductors for this specialized application.
