Development Project: High-Pressure O2 Czochralski System

Posted in News on Dec 15, 2025.

ScIDre GmbH is developing a pioneering high‑pressure-oxygen Czochralski crystal‑growth system capable of operating at 1500 °C and oxygen pressures up to 100 bar. The aim is to enable the production of larger single crystals of novel compounds and to strengthen the crucial interface between fundamental research and application‑oriented material development.

A preceding simulation study confirmed the basic feasibility of the concept, while also showing that the targeted combination of temperature and oxygen pressure lies close to the limits of what is achievable. With extensive experience in spe...

Development of a High‑Pressure Bridgman‑Stockbarger Crystal Growth System

Posted in News on Nov 19, 2025.

ScIDre GmbH has launched a R&D project to develop an innovative Bridgman‑Stockbarger crystal‑growth system capable of operating at 1500 °C and 100 bar oxygen pressure. The aim is to enable the controlled growth of larger single crystals of advanced oxide materials—an area where no comparable commercial solution currently exists.

The project is supported by the Free State of Saxony and co‑funded by the European Union, both of which have a strong tradition of advancing the boundaries of engineering and materials science. Our project fits squarely within this innovation landscape.

Building on our...
