Float Zone Crystal Grower from Germany
Equipment employing the float zone method to produce extremely pure monocrystalline semiconductor boules in a controlled glass envelope environment for electronic tubes and lamps. Falls under HTS 8475.10.00.00 due to its role in assembling semiconductor material within glass envelopes during the growth process for lamp/tube production.
