Every computer, mobile phone or other electronic device contains a piece of crystal in it. Most of these crystals were grown using a method developed in 1916 by Polish chemist Professor Jan Czochralski. Even today, it is the world’s most widely used technique for producing semiconductor single crystals, especially silicon, to manufacture electronic devices. ENSEMBLE³, relying on this strength of Polish science and technology, intends to develop crystal growth methods and apply them for the development of new photonic materials.
