Case History for Manufacturing Polysilicon Ingots Application: Watlow’s MULTICELL heaters provide accurate and controlled heating in polycrystalline silicon CVD reactors. Problem: Temperature consistency and uniformity within the CVD reactor is critical in the manufacturing process of polysilicon ingots. is then removed from the reactor. The reactor is then sealed and the filaments are connected to desired voltage while the reaction gasses are introduced. The MULTICELL heater bundle is the preferred heat source due to its straightness, rigidity, excellent high temperature and zoning...
