This document discusses techniques for growing silicon single crystals, specifically the Bridgman and Czochralski (CZ) techniques. It provides details on the process and equipment used for each technique. The CZ technique is considered preferable for growing silicon single crystals over the Bridgman technique. CZ crystals have fewer dislocations and allow for better control over the crystal growth process and ambient conditions compared to Bridgman. While more complex, CZ produces higher quality silicon single crystals.
