Micro pulling down (MPD) : crystal growth furnace

MPD for single crystal growth of thin rods and fibers.

The Micro Pulling Down system is a high temperature furnace from ECM Lab Solutions, adapted for direct growth of mono crystalline thin rods and fibers from the melt. With a working temperature up to 2200°C, it can be used to produce high length monocrystalline fibers (greater than 100 mm) of oxides, semiconductors, or metals. The furnace is based on a pull-down system where a fiber seed dipped into a suspended drop of melted charge is suspended from a capillary orifice at the base of the crucible.  The furnace is equipped with a Cyberstar pulling head with high stability providing a pulling speed resolution as low as 0.01 mm/h. These characteristics of the furnace make it ideal for laboratory use, as well as, for universities, R&D centers, and production facilities.
