ELECTROMAGNETIC CONTINUOUS CASTING APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A SILICON INGOT

摘要

The present invention relates to a structure for connecting an electrode of a transportable plasma arc torch used as an auxiliary heat source in an electromagnetic continuous casting apparatus for producing a silicon ingot. The According to one embodiment of the electromagnetic continuous casting apparatus of the present invention, in which a silicon ingot is produced using a transportable plasma arc torch as an auxiliary heat source when a silicon raw material is supplied from a raw material input hole defined in an upper portion of a chamber, includescomprises: a heat heat-resistant member (the supplied silicon raw material is melted and coagulated on a top surface of the heat said heat-resistant member to grow form a silicon ingot); a connection member connected to said heat-the heat resistant member to extend downward from said heat-the heat resistant member; and a withdrawal device connected to the said connection member to vertically move said heat-the heat resistant member. The Said electrode of the transportable plasma arc torch is connected to said heat-the heat resistant member, and the said withdrawal device moves said heat-the heat resistant member downward as the silicon ingot is grownformed.
