Abstract
A system for growing a crystal ingot from a melt includes a crucible assembly configured to contain the melt and a susceptor configured to support the crucible assembly. The crucible assembly includes a substantially transparent crucible. The system further includes a heating system for generating thermal energy and disposed to supply thermal energy to the susceptor via thermal radiation. The susceptor enables transfer of thermal energy to the melt via radiation through the transparent crucible.
