CZ Growing Equipment

Crystal Processing Equipment

Linton leads the world in the design, development, and manufacture of Czochralski (CZ) furnaces for producing monocrystalline ingots for the semiconductor, machined part, and solar industries. We specialize in silicon and produce equipment for materials such as germanium, gallium arsenide, and indium antimonide (InSb). Linton also provides diamond wire saws and specialized equipment for shaping and polishing ingots and cutting them into wafers. We can also help you automate your factory floor from the moment the silicon begins to melt in the crucible to the point the wafers are stacked on a pallet.

Decades of crystal growth experiences meets new-world technology.

To design CZ Growers and accessories, Linton's engineers listen to what customers say they need today. with an eye toward what will service them best in the future. We strive to provide a crystal growing experience like no other—one that makes each customer the best in their industry.

Key features of our product line.

Use the Czochralski (CZ) method, which allows for growth of single, large crystals at lower cots than other growth methods.

Modularity—designed to be easily and inexpensively refitted for multiple hotzone sizes. As industry standards—and your needs—change, your furnace system can, too.

Faster crystal growth—Our systems are achieving some of the fastest crystal growth speeds in the industry, to speeds of 1.6 - 2.0 mm per minute.

Hotzone sizes range from 24 to 36 inches optimized for 200mm, 250mm and 300mm wafers (custom - capable of accommodating other sizes).

Low operating costs—Much of our research and development targets lowering your operating costs, such as:

Low-power, high-efficiency hotzones that reduce power consumption by nearly half, extend the lifetime of crucibles to approximately 250 hours vs. typical 185 to 195 hours
Newly-designed heaters and insulation boost efficiency and lower operating costs
Superconducting magnets vastly reduce power requirements vs. resistive magnets

Automation—currently available automated capabilities include:

KrystalVision^TM system for monitoring diameter and controlling melt level
Kayex Intelligent Crystal Control System (KICCS^TM) for hardware and software process control
Web Integrated Grower Supervisor (WINGS) for remote furnace management and data collection
Self-cleaning filters that partially automate the cleaning process required after each growing session
