PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for re-treating silicon are provided to obtain a silicon molten solution sufficient to fill a crucible and voids between silicon lumps by introducing both the silicon lumps and the silicon granules. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for re-treating silicon includes a first chamber(110), a crucible(115), a heating unit, an insulating member(111), a second chamber(150), a through pipe(120), and a loading container(157). The crucible is installed in the first chamber and includes a containing part. The heating unit is arranged at the first chamber. The insulating member is installed at the inner lateral side of the first chamber. The second chamber is arranged at the lower side of the first chamber. The one end part of the through pipe is in connection with the crucible and passes through the chambers. Another end part of the through pipe is extended to the second chamber. The loading container is installed in the second chamber and is arranged under the through pipe. |
