7th International Workshop on Crystal Growth Technology

The workshop â€" the seventh of a series initiated by Hans Scheel in 1998 â€" is devoted to Crystal Growth Technology, industrial crystal growth technologies and equipment. The focus lies on preparation of bulk and substrate crystals.

Topics of the workshop will include:

• Industrial growth technology of silicon and III-Vs (for electronics and photovoltaics)
• Growth technology for oxide and dielectric crystals (for piezoelectrics, lasers, scintillators, etc.)
• Wide band gap semiconductor substrates (sapphire, GaN, AlN, oxide electronics, etc.)
• Emerging fields and technologies in crystal growth
• Crucible and equipment technologies
• Raw materials, recycling, and efficiency issues

The workshop links R&D to the actual production, bridging science and practice. International experts will present topical lectures with enough additional time for discussions and debate. The workshop will also comprise a panel discussion and poster sessions, including a DGKK poster prize.
