Graphite tube furnace - TF2 translation

Application

Possibilities:

• Temperature limit: ~1800K. Possibly higher...
• Size: Crucible diameter up to 42mm
• Controlled atmosphere (inert gas, CO(g) should probably be avoided...)
• Possibility of using a translation system for monitoring directional solidification of silicon or other materials. A special cup-system made of Mo is used for solidification of mc-Si. It isolates the melt from the rest of the chamber and leads the argon (or whatever inert gas) directly onto the melt.

Can not be used for:

• With oxidizing atmosphere.

Previously used for:

• Multicrystalline and quasi-monocrystalline silicon directional solidification.
