Chapter 1, Problem 37Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The czochralski and float zone processes to fabricate long cylinders of high purity silicon have to be compared. The technique that is more energy intensive to fabricate long cylinders of high-purity silicon has to be found and how the $\text{Si}$ ingots used in the fabrication of processor chips has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

$Si$ingots are monocrystalline silicon. Its growth is obtained from czochralski process. So, it is known as $\text{Cz-Si}$. It is being the major and basic material in the production of integrated circuits of various electronic gadgets such as computers, TVs, mobile phones and also semiconductor devices.
