By harnessing the power of a 20 kW laser, their laser-diode floating zone (LDFZ) method eliminates the need for conventional crucibles, resulting in larger, purer crystals vital for electric cars and photovoltaics.  German and Japanese researchers have advanced semiconductor crystal production, which is essential for applications in electric cars and photovoltaics. The team, comprising scientists … Continue reading Laser-Based Method Revolutionizes Semiconductor Crystal Production
