DIY silicon crystal growing / pulling machine

[Alloyau]

Hello everyone,

How do you make a DIY crystal growing / pulling machine from start to finnish?

 

[MiketheEngineer]

Bet you could find one using a Google search.

Or buy some baby crystals - feed them and keep them warm. Let them get some light. They will grow up!!

Are there any time constraints?

It's not just a mechanical structure; the control system is critical to ensuring that the pull rate is consistent with the rate of crystallization.

We had ,done this as a part of our Experimental Techniques course work. The issue is whether you have really grown a single crystal!!. It needs several trial and error methods to establish the process controls. also,you need to be confident of the starting material. Any impurities can spoil the game.
