Linton Takes Part in Research to Improve Process Quality and Yield in Crystal Growth

Recently, Linton Crystal Technologies partnered with the Golisano Institute of Sustainability at Rochester Institute of Technology to conduct research on the crystal ingot growth process. Researchers at RIT used process time-series data as well as images from the KICCS cameras integral to Linton’s Czochralski crystal growers to develop data-driven models to predict errors during crystal formation.

The researchers found the results of the image-based model to be very promising at successfully detecting quality precursors in real-time operation.

The full case study of the project is available Machine Learning Research Case Study.
