Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a biography of Jan Czochralski - one of the world famous scientist of the twentieth century. His main discovery was a method of obtaining single crystals or monocrystalline; the method is nowadays used for production of VLSI/ ULSI circuits. After the Second World War, Czochralski was accused of collaboration with the Germans. The accusation was groundless. In 2019, the Czochralski Method received the IEEE Milestone Award.
