ABSTRACT:
Silicon granules filled in a nonconductive cylinder are locally heated from outside of the cylinder using a local heating means, for example, a radio-frequency induction heating coil etc. to form a silicon granule sintering portion and a silicon melting portion, with gradually moving the local heating means in such a manner that the positions of the sintering portion and of the melting portion can be moved gradually. Concomitantly with the movement of the positions of the sintering portion and the melting portion, the melting portion in the original position is solidified to produce a silicon rod. According to this method, molten silicon is formed without contacting the inner wall surface of the cylinder and then solidified so that there can be obtained a silicon rod containing no impurities derived from the material of the cylinder.
