ABSTRACT:
The process of manufacturing silicon single crystals by the CZ method is significantly improved by the present apparatus wherein raw material (polycrystalline silicon) is automatically loaded into a quartz crucible. After a protection sheet (15) is employed to cover the inner side wall of the container (3), which has an inner diameter smaller than that of the quartz crucible (10), a present amount of polycrystalline silicon (17) is loaded from the loading means (6) into the container (3). The container (3) is then filled with pure water that is thereafter frozen into an ice block (22). Subsequently, the ice block (22) is raised up from the container (3). Thereafter, the protection sheet (15) is removed from the ice block (22) and the ice block (22) is loaded into the quartz crucible (10). The ice block (22) is then caused to melt and the quartz crucible (10) and polycrystalline silicon are caused to dry up. The above operations are performed by the conveying apparatus (1).
