8.4
Making crystals from melted material for use in electronics
  • noun
  • /ˈɡroʊɪŋ/
  • Specialized
translation icon : cristalización
  • The growing process of the semiconductor involves slow crystallization from the molten state.

Examples

  • We start with materials growth where we really grow our semiconductor and get our structure in it.

  • So there's no way to have an external view of this growing block process.

  • Really it's prohibition and the ever difficulties and risks of getting it from the growing stage to the consumer.

  • With dust particle sticks, When the growing mass becomes big enough, it's gravity attracts gas.

  • Researchers are exploring new techniques to improve the growing of high-quality crystal structures.

  • During the growing phase, the material is carefully monitored to ensure optimal crystal formation.

Morphology

growing = grow (transparent) = grow + ing

A technical usage but still a direct nominalization/gerund from 'grow' with -ing; the morphological relation is regular and predictable.

Etymology

Growing in crystal work uses the same root grow, which means 'to become bigger'. Here it means 'to make something larger by slowly adding material', so you can imagine crystals 'growing' like plants as new parts join them.
