Ingot growing apparatus

An apparatus for growing an ingot, comprising:

• a growth furnace for growing the ingot;
• and
• a main crucible which is accommodated in the growth furnace and accommodates molten silicon,
• wherein the main crucible comprises:
• a main crucible bottom portion;
• a main crucible side portion which extends upwardly from the main crucible bottom portion;
• and
• a main crucible inclined portion that has an inclined surface extending upward and outward from the main crucible side portion, and
• wherein when the molten silicon is supplied from an upper side of the main crucible side portion into the main crucible, the molten silicon is guided into the main crucible along the inclined surface,
• wherein a guide groove is formed on the inclined surface of the main crucible inclined portion, the guide groove guiding molten silicon supplied onto the inclined surface and being formed in a curved shape extending from an inner side toward an outer side on the inclined surface, and
• wherein an inside of the main crucible is divided into a first region in which the ingot is grown and a second region surrounding the first region, and the molten silicon moves along the guide groove and is guided to the second region of the main crucible.
