If you were to travel back in time to the turn of the previous century and try to convince the average person that the grains of sand on just about any beach would be the basis of an industry worth ...

Research from the Chin-Yi University of Technology in Taiwan revealed a novel heater design in the Czochralski silicon crystal growth process that can control and decrease oxygen concentration without ...

His name may be almost impossible to pronounce for non-Polish speakers, but without Jan Czochralski, IT as we know it would not exist. Wednesday is the birthday of the chemist and metallurgist who, ...

A silicon wafer is a thin slice of crystalline silicon typically grown using the Czochralski process, which involves pulling a crystal seed from a molten silicon bath. A silicon wafer is a thin slice ...

A slender thread of memory connects a Texas Hill Country man to a discovery that transformed modern technology. In 1916, Fred Schmidt's grandfather, Jan Czochralski (1885-1953), a largely self-taught ...
