DEFINITION OF

POLYCRYSTALLINE

In between the single


crystal and
amorphous, exist

polycrystalline
, which is
made up of a number of
smaller crystals
known as
crystallites.

. SINGLE CRYSTAL
FORMATION PROCESS
At the end of this topic,
student should be able to:

Explain two methods of


crystalline growth :
Czochralski
and float zone.

Compare between the two


method in terms of
crystal size, impurities
density, crystal structure and
electrical resistivity.

CZOCHRALSKI
METHOD

Start with crucible of


molten silicon (EGS)
(

Insert
crystal seed
in

melt.

Slowly rotate / raise


seed to form single

After cooling, slice


boule
/ingot into wafers
& polish
.
