Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for growing a silicon single crystal according to embodiments includes a chamber including a crucible accommodating silicon melt; a support shaft rotating and lifting the crucible while supporting the crucible; a main heater part for applying heat to the crucible side, the heater disposed beside the crucible; an upper heat insulation member located over the crucible; and upper heater parts located at a lower end portion of the upper heat insulation member, wherein the upper heater parts have diameters different from each other with respect to a center of the crucible, and include a plurality of ring-shaped heaters which are spaced apart from each other. Due to the individually controllable upper heater parts, a uniform thermal environment can be provided for silicon melt accommodated in a crucible, and localized solidification of the silicon melt can be prevented so that the quality of a silicon single crystal and the ingot pulling speed can be readily controlled.
