Zusammenfassung:A crystal of semiconductor material is produced in an apparatus having a crucible with a crucible bottom and a crucible wall, the crucible bottom having a top surface, an underside, and a multitude of openings disposed between the crucible wall and a center of the crucible bottom, and elevations disposed on the top surface and the underside of the crucible bottom; and an induction heating coil disposed below the crucible for melting semiconductor material and stabilizing a melt of semiconductor material covering a growing crystal of semiconductor material. The growth process comprises generating a bed of a semiconductor material feed on the top surface of the crucible bottom and melting semiconductor material on the bed using the induction heating coil.
