The
Single Crystal Growth Lab includes a Cold Isostatic Press which
is used to press the powdered material for the feed and seed rods
used for crystal growth in the Optical Floating Zone Units. The
in-house CIPing capability provides versatility in feed-rod production.
This aids in productivity as we don't have to rely on an outside
source for the feed and seed rods. Additional rod preparation methods
which are used include arc-melting and hot isostatic pressing.
