SIC CRYSTAL GROWTH FURNACE (PVT METHOD)

PVT system for laboratory-scale silicon carbide crystal growth.

This SiC crystal growth furnace from ECM Lab Solutions uses the PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) method to grow silicon carbide single crystals in a research and development environment. This system is configured for process development, material qualification, and academic research, giving laboratories full control over sublimation parameters at a smaller, more accessible scale. Induction heating brings the growth chamber up to 2 500 °C, while a precision pulling head allows fine control of the crystal translation speed, from very slow research-grade growth to faster exploratory runs.
