Czochralski Crystal Puller for Silicon Wafers

A machine that uses the Czochralski method to grow monocrystalline silicon boules from molten silicon, from which semiconductor wafers are sliced. It falls under HTS 8455.21.00.00 as a hot rolling mill because the crystal growth process involves controlled heating and pulling, akin to hot processing of semiconductor materials into boule form prior to wafer fabrication.
