    Abstract: An method for producing a silicon ingot includes melting polycrystalline silicon in a crucible enclosed in a vacuum chamber to form a melt, generating a cusped magnetic field within the vacuum chamber, dipping a seed crystal into the melt, withdrawing the seed crystal from the melt to pull a single crystal that forms the silicon ingot, wherein the silicon ingot has a diameter greater than about 150 millimeters (mm), and simultaneously regulating a plurality of process parameters such that the silicon ingot has an oxygen concentration less than about 5 parts per million atoms (ppma). The plurality of process parameters include a wall temperature of the crucible, a transport of silicon monoxide (SiO) from the crucible to the single crystal, and an evaporation rate of SiO from the melt.

    Abstract: A method for producing a silicon ingot includes withdrawing a seed crystal from a melt that includes melted silicon in a crucible that is enclosed in a vacuum chamber containing a cusped magnetic field. At least one process parameter is regulated in at least two stages, including a first stage corresponding to formation of the silicon ingot up to an intermediate ingot length, and a second stage corresponding to formation of the silicon ingot from the intermediate ingot length to the total ingot length. During the second stage process parameter regulation may include reducing a crystal rotation rate, reducing a crucible rotation rate, and/or increasing a magnetic field strength relative to the first stage.
