Description
Single Crystal Silicon Ingot is usually grown as a large cylindrical ingot by accurate doping and pulling technologies Czochralski CZ, Magnetic field induced Czochralski MCZ and Floating Zone FZ methods. CZ method is the most widely used for silicon crystal growth of large cylindrical ingots in diameters up to 300mm used in the electronics industry to make semiconductor devices. MCZ method is a variation of the CZ method in which a magnetic field created by an electromagnet, which can achieve low oxygen concentration comparatively, lower impurity concentration, lower dislocation and uniform resistivity variation. FZ method facilitates the achievement of high resistivity above 1000 Ω-cm and high-purity crystal with low oxygen content.

Single Crystal Silicon Ingot, when completely grown and qualified its resistivity, impurity content, crystal perfection, size and weight, is grounded using diamond wheels to make it a perfect cylinder to the right diameter, then undergoes an etching process to remove the mechanical defects left by the grinding process. Afterwards the cylindrical ingot is cut into blocks with certain length, and is given notch and primary or secondary flat by automated wafer handling systems for alignment to identify the crystallographic orientation and conductivity before downstream wafer slicing process.
