This silicon crystal seed originated from ARCO Solar’s silicon ingot growing operation. It served as the starter crystal in the Czochralski process, a crucial method for producing high-quality single-crystal silicon ingots. These ingots are then sliced into wafers to manufacture solar cells and other semiconductor devices. The seed crystal, with its precisely oriented crystalline structure, ensures the growth of a large, single crystal with the desired properties.Donated by
