Czochralski

plural Czochralskis

1. A surname from Polish.
   1. attributivechemistryRelating to the Czochralski process.

      The energy required to produce electronic grade silicon (EG-Si) from MG-Si is 100 kWh kg⁻¹ and there is a 90% yield. The EG-Si is melted in a Czochralski crystal puller at 1400 °C and the silicon slowly crystallizes to form a single crystal ingot of silicon.

      Mascher et al. (1989b) presented a correlated investigation of electron-irradiation-induced divacancies in silicon by positron annihilation, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and infrared absorption. The defects were created by 2-MeV irradiation of Czochralski-grown Si at room temperature to a dose of 1×10¹⁸ cm⁻².
