Ingot growing apparatus

An ingot growing apparatus comprising:

• a growth furnace in which a main crucible is disposed, wherein the main crucible accommodates molten silicon and is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the molten silicon clockwise or counterclockwise in order to grow an ingot;
• a susceptor formed to surround an outer surface of the main crucible and rotated in the same direction as the main crucible;
• and
• a preliminary melting unit which receives a solid silicon material, melts the solid silicon material into molten silicon, and supplies the molten silicon to the main crucible,
• wherein the preliminary melting unit includes:
• a preliminary crucible which accommodates the molten silicon,
• the preliminary crucible including:
• a body of which an upper side is open and which includes a sidewall in which an opening is formed;
• and
• a beak extending from the sidewall of the body in a tangential direction corresponding to a rotation direction of the molten silicon in the main crucible, and
• a preliminary susceptor including a first support configured to support the body and a second support extending in the same direction as the beak and configured to support the beak, and a distal end of the beak extending farther than a distal end of the second support.
