1100 °C Max. Hybrid Compact Crystal Grower For Both CZ & Bridgman w/ Atmosphere Control - OTF-1200X-SCB

MTI

OTF-1200X-SCB is a compact crystal grower for both CZ and Bridgeman methods up to 1100°C. The precision pulling & rotation mechanism is built on a compact two-zone vertical tube furnace with 2" quartz tube and vacuum-sealed flange, which can pull a single crystal from a melt in the crucible via seed or move down to grow the crystal via a capillary.
Note:  Upgrade to a vacuum-sealed quartz tube and a hermetic pulling mechanism since Jan 5, 2021, which is compatible with volatile materials and growth in a controlled atmosphere.

  • RS485 port and software (iTools) is ready for PC remote control
  •  Note: It is the customer's responsibility to create a suitable thermal gradient for crystal growth.
Vacuum Pump
and
Gas Purification System
(Optional)
  • 10E-2 torr via dual-stage mechanical vacuum pump (Pic. 2)
  • 10E-5 torr via Turbopump (Pic. 1) 
  • The vacuum pump is optional. Please click here to choose a vacuum pump.
