METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING SEMI-CONDUCTOR SOURCE MATERIAL

摘要

A method of supplying source material in a crystal puller used to grow single crystal semi-conductor material. Generally, the method includes receiving a bulk container of the source material at a facility having the crystal puller and configuring the bulk container of gravity feed of the source material from the container. The bulk container is transported to the crystal puller and a predetermined quantity of source material is dispensed directly from the bulk container into the crystal puller. Apparatus and a system for use in supplying source material are also disclosed.
