Descriptions for C30B and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    In this subclass, the following expressions are used with the meaning indicated:[3,5,2012.01]
      "single crystal" includes also twin crystals and a predominantly single crystal product;"homogeneous polycrystalline material" means a material with crystal particles, all of which have the same chemical composition;"defined structure" means the structure of a material with grains which are oriented in a preferential way or have larger dimensions than normally obtained.
    In this subclass:
      the preparation of single crystals or a homogeneous polycrystalline material with defined structure of particular materials or shapes is classified in the group for the process as well as in group C30B 29/00;an apparatus specially adapted for a specific process is classified in the appropriate group for the process. Apparatus to be used in more than one kind of process is classified in group C30B 35/00.
