The Czochralski method is a crystal growth technique used to produce single crystals of semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium. This method involves melting a material and then slowly pulling a seed crystal from the melt while rotating it, allowing the material to crystallize uniformly as it cools. This process is essential for creating high-quality semiconductor materials used in electronics and optoelectronics.
congrats on reading the definition of Czochralski method. now let's actually learn it.
