Latest Patents
Chang C Chao holds a patent for a "Method of growing crystals." This invention comprises an improved method of growing crystalline bodies from a melt. The method involves providing a crucible for containing a melt, which has a plurality of first and second grooves of capillary size formed in opposite side walls. Enlargements at the upper ends of the slots facilitate crystal growth. Additionally, a feed cavity associated with the crucible receives solid source material for replenishing the melt. A passageway between the feed cavity and the crucible transmits melted source material to replenish the melt in the crucible. A plurality of ribbons are formed by positioning a seed between each pair of first and second grooves, contacting the seeds with the melt, and then withdrawing the seeds vertically out of the crucible. This innovative approach has led to the development of more efficient crystal growth techniques.
