Float-zone silicon: Applications, Application & Overview

Float-zone (FZ) silicon is very pure silicon obtained by vertical zone melting. The process was developed at Bell Labs by Henry Theurer in 1955 as a modification of a method developed by Bill Pfann for germanium. In the vertical configuration molten silicon has sufficient surface tension to keep the charge from separating. The major advantages is…
