Czochralski Crystal Puller from Canada
A numerically controlled machine used in semiconductor manufacturing to grow monocrystalline silicon boules by the Czochralski method, involving precise pulling and rotation of a seed crystal from molten silicon. It falls under HTS 8461.90.30.80 as a numerically controlled machine tool for material processing by removing excess material through grinding and shaping during boule formation. This equipment precisely shapes semiconductor crystal growth for subsequent wafer slicing.
