ABSTRACT:
This invention delineates a multiple barrier design for separating the feed compartment (12) from the growth compartment (13) in crucibles (10) used for silicon dendritic web growth. The use of the barrier design greatly reduces the thermal interaction between the two compartments permitting larger replenishment rates without adverse effect on crystal growth. Its novelty lies in having a primary and secondary barrier (15,16) spaced apart from one another such that there exists a space (22) between the barriers (15,16) which is devoid of liquid silicon thus reducing the thermal conductance of the combination.
