Silicon Crystal Growing Equipment for Solar and Semiconductor Applications

Kayex develops and manufactures semiconductor and photovoltaic crystal growing furnaces used to produce silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide crystal ingots.

These high-temperature crystal growers utilize the Czochralski or CZ method of crystal growing. The crystallization process begins when highly pure material is melted and a seed crystal is dipped into the molten material and made to grow. The crystal increases in size as the seed is slowly raised from the melt, which is why the crystal growing furnace is often referred to as a "crystal puller."

Kayex’s line of silicon crystal growing furnaces produce crystals used as starting materials for semiconducting devices such as integrated circuits or discrete devices.

Kayex’s state-of-the-art solar crystal growing furnaces, like silicon crystal growers, also utilize the Czochralski method. This line of solar crystal growth furnaces produce crystals used in alternative energy solutions and with today’s energy costs, substitute products are increasing in importance.
