New Crystal-growing System on a Laboratory Scale

WETTENBERG, Germany, July 4, 2011 -
PVA TePla Group, a leading manufacturer of
silicon crystallization systems and of vacuum and high-temperature
systems, has developed the “CGS Lab“, a
technologically innovative crystal-growing system on a laboratory
scale. The CGS Lab, built in the context of the
“Spitzencluster“ competition sponsored by
the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is designed
to manufacture monocrystalline ingots using the Czochralski method.
In contrast to its larger counterparts, which are already in use in
the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, this system is
particularly attractive both for industrial application in the
solar, semiconductor and optical industries and for basic research
at institutes and universities as a result of its smaller
scale.
The CGS Lab is particularly suitable for fast and efficient
material characterization for receiving and pre-delivery
inspections and standardization, e.g. for polysilicon manufacturers
and photovoltaic companies, but also for optimization of solar cell
material (Si, Ge), concentrator photovoltaics and infrared
optics.
The advantages of the system are its low space requirement and
short process times with low staff, material, media and energy
utilization levels, which enable fast, cost-efficient results.
These are supplemented by low maintenance requirements, ease of use
and full process automation. Control of all parameters is possible
at any time via an integrated, graphical user interface.
