HTTF-1200-CGF crystal growth furnace 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.

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.
Crystal growth furnace can be 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.

Two-zone heating with 100mm L for each zone (200 mm in the total heating zone) The Max. 1100°C working temperature Max temperature gradient is about 10ºC/cm within 60 mm length Precision phase-angle fired temperature control with +/- 0.1 ºC accuracy (Eurotherm controller) |
Quartz Tube and Flanges | Quartz Tube size: 50mm OD x 44 mm ID x 600 mm L Top flange: water-cooled flange with a needle valve and a KF25 port for rotation and pulling mechanism. Bottom flange: flange with a needle valve and KF25 port for connection to a vacuum pump. Two 1/4" tube fitting for gas circulation or flow. |
Pulling Mechanism | Travel is driven by precision servo motor Pulling Speed: 0.5 - 50 mm/h Pulling Rod Rotation Speed: 0.1 - 23 RPM Travel distance: 0 - 300 mm Faster travel: 35 mm/min |
Czocharalski Method | One 300 mm length alumina tube is put on the bottom flange to support an alumina crucible for CZ crystal pulling One pulling rod made of tool steel is included for mounting seed crystal up to 800°C. Another pulling rod material is available upon request. Seed crystal diameter: 0.5-3.2 mm Alumina crucible: 25 OD×20 ID×25 H mm |

HT crystal growth furnace is providing the two most important parameters necessary for critical growth: stability and control. Both are necessary to achieve consistency, repeatability, and uniformity – the keys to successful crystal growth in the laboratory and in production.
Stability provides the crystal grower with a known and constant environment for demanding crystal growth. Stability assures uniform, tightly defined temperatures and thermal gradients for consistent melts and zone refining. Stability requires well-controlled gaseous or vacuum environments. Stability in crystal growth demands smooth, highly constant, vibration-free motions with large and dynamic ranges, programmable first and second derivatives and multi-axis configurations – yet all must be controlled.
