<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for purifying silicon that can purify silicon with high purity. <P>SOLUTION: The method for purifying silicon to obtain purified silicon from silicon waste includes steps of: melting the silicon waste to form molten silicon; and solidifying melted silicon obtained by the molten silicon to form a silicon ingot. The step of forming the molten silicon includes steps of: melting the silicon waste under first pressure to form the molten silicon; and degassing the molten silicon under second pressure which is lower than the first pressure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
