Abstract

<PICT:0913674/III/1> In pulling dendritic crystals in accordance with Claim 1 of the parent Specification, the seed has at least two interior (111) twin planes which extend to that end only of the seed which contacts the melt. An odd number of twin planes is preferably employed. Using three twin planes (Fig. 5), the distance between successive planes may be 5 and 1 2/3 microns respectively. Two examples, relating to germanium and indium antimonide respectively, are given.
