Production and Synthesis
Czochralski Method
Czochralski Method
Involves pulling a crystal (boule) upward from a molten solution. Produces some of the purest crystals but requires a cleanroom environment.
Hydrothermal Method
Hydrothermal Method
Involves suspending a seed crystal into a high pressure / high temperature autoclave with liquid ingredients. Sometimes produces optics-grade ingots.
