    Abstract: A system for growing a crystal ingot from a melt is provided. The system includes a first crucible, a barrier, and a shield. The first crucible has a first base and a first sidewall forming a first cavity for containing the melt. The barrier is disposed within the first cavity of the first crucible to inhibit movement of the melt from outward of the barrier to inward of the barrier. The barrier extends from the first base to above the melt. The barrier has an inner arm and an outer arm extending upward to form a channel therebetween. The shield extends downward between the inner arm and the outer arm to inhibit passage of contaminants.

    Abstract: A computing device is configured to execute a first instance of a single-threaded script engine in a first thread associated with a first execution context, wherein the first instance of the single-threaded script engine accesses at least one shared script object through a first reference counted script base value object. The computing device is also configured to concurrently execute a second instance of the single-threaded script engine in a second thread_associated with a second execution context, wherein the second instance of the single-threaded script engine accesses the at least one shared script object through a second reference counted script base value object. The script engine does not switch between the execution contexts.

    Abstract: An improved system based on the Czochralski process for continuous growth of a single crystal ingot comprises a low aspect ratio, large diameter, and substantially flat crucible, including an optional weir surrounding the crystal. The low aspect ratio crucible substantially eliminates convection currents and reduces oxygen content in a finished single crystal silicon ingot. A separate level controlled silicon pre-melting chamber provides a continuous source of molten silicon to the growth crucible advantageously eliminating the need for vertical travel and a crucible raising system during the crystal pulling process. A plurality of heaters beneath the crucible establish corresponding thermal zones across the melt. Thermal output of the heaters is individually controlled for providing an optimal thermal distribution across the melt and at the crystal/melt interface for improved crystal growth. Multiple crystal pulling chambers are provided for continuous processing and high throughput.
