BRIDGMAN : crystal growth furnace

High temperature Bridgman furnace

The Bridgman Furnace from ECM Lab Solutions, with high precision control and multiple data process recording and acquisition, is based on mono- or multi-heater configurations. This enables it to obtain a better control of the thermal gradient in the different thermal zones. Both resistive and inductive heating technologies are possible, in accordance to the operating temperature and growth environment. The furnaces can also be equipped with crucible rotation without losing crucible temperature measurement – thanks to the Cyberstar rotating thermocouple system. The specific design of the furnace makes it ideal for laboratory use, universities, and R&D centers.
