Zusammenfassung: | A process and apparatus for producing a high-quality polycrystalline semiconductor ingot with excellent crystallographic properties are disclosed. The interior of an airtight vessel (1) is kept in an inert atmosphere for semiconductors. A raw semiconductor material (17) is charged in a crucible (9), and the raw semiconductor material (17) is heated by an induction heating coil (5) so as to be melted. Then the bottom of the crucible is deprived of heat for causing the raw semiconductor material (17) to solidify, thereby producing a polycrystalline semiconductor. The semiconductor crystal grows in one direction from the bottom to the top of the crucible while the heat emission is changed in accordance with a predetermined relationship for keeping the solidification rate of the raw semiconductor material (17) constant. |
