A controlled heat extraction system and method thereof is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a housing to form a chamber. The system further includes a seed cooling component adapted to support a bottom of the crucible and to receive a coolant fluid to cool the supported portion of the crucible. The system also includes at least one heating element substantially surrounding the seed cooling component and the crucible to heat the crucible, where the seed cooling component along with the crucible is movable relative to the at least one heating element. Furthermore, the system includes an insulating element substantially surrounding the crucible, the seed cooling component and the at least one heating element. Additionally, the system includes a gradient control device (GCD) movable relative to the insulating element, the at least one heating element, the seed cooling component and the crucible over a range of positions.
