Title: Philipp Schuh and Semiconductor Crystal Manufacturing

Introduction

Philipp Schuh is an inventor based in Nuremberg, Germany, whose patent work concerns systems for manufacturing high-quality semiconductor single crystals. The supplied information lists 2 patents and identifies Sicrystal GmbH as his company.

Latest Patents

The supplied patent information describes an invention titled “System for manufacturing a high-quality semiconductor single crystal, and method of manufacturing same.” The title appears twice in the provided data, with two related descriptions of the system.

The invention concerns growing bulk semiconductor crystals, including silicon carbide, through physical vapor transport. One described system uses a crucible with a seed-crystal fixture and a compartment for source material. Its heating system creates an irregular temperature field around the crucible, while a rotary drive turns the seed-crystal fixture relative to the heating system.

A related description adds thermal insulation that partly surrounds the crucible. The insulation has a radially or axially asymmetric form intended to compensate for the irregular temperature field. Together, these features address temperature management during semiconductor crystal growth.

Career Highlights

Schuh’s listed patent activity focuses on semiconductor manufacturing technology, particularly equipment and methods for growing single crystals. The supplied information associates him with Sicrystal GmbH in Nuremberg.

Collaborations

The supplied data names Michael Vogel and Bernhard Ecker as Schuh’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent work.

Conclusion

Philipp Schuh’s listed inventions address physical-vapor-transport systems for growing semiconductor single crystals, with a focus on managing temperature conditions in the crucible.
