The company has equipment and expertise in growing Germanium monocrystalline using the Czochralski method with a diameter of up to 402 mm!!!
We do lot’s of special crystals including small ones on our EKZ CGS-Lab.
Equipment
PVA EKZ 2700 – 4 units
EKZ CGS-Lab
The equipment makes it possible to grow Germanium monocrystals of different orientations with specified electrical properties (conductivity type, electrical resistivity) in a wide range of diameters.

Growing area
General view of the growing area/EKZ 2700 control panel
We have grown large-sized crystals reaching 400+ mm in diameter, and have developed a technology for producing low-dislocation crystals.
All the crystals are stress annealed and checked with an X-ray as well as for transmission % by default. NO sudden cracks on further processing, polishing or lens mounting.
With our material you are all settled for achieving your goals, not studying textbooks on material science. We know what you need – we successfully work in this field for 18 years!
