PURPOSE: A continuous silicon casting apparatus and a method for the same are provided to continuously cast silicon, especially cast near-monocrystalline silicon. CONSTITUTION: A continuous silicon casting method includes the following: a monocrystalline seed layer with the predetermined crystal orientation which is installed on the upper part of a supporting rod(10); the monocrystalline seed layer is loaded in the lower part of a crucible(3) by using the supporting rod; raw silicon materials are supplied into the crucible to be molten; and the supporting rod descends to cast silicon ingot. The raw silicon material melting process includes a seed layer cooling process. The seed layer cooling process includes a coolant supplying process. |
