Abstract
An ingot growing apparatus is disclosed. An ingot growing apparatus comprising a heater according to an aspect of the present invention may comprise: a crucible for accommodating molten silicon; a growth furnace having an inner space in which the crucible is installed; a susceptor having an inner surface shaped to correspond to an outer surface of the crucible and surrounding the outer surface of the crucible; and a heater for heating the susceptor, wherein the heater may comprise: a coil which is fixed at a position spaced a predetermined distance apart from an outer surface of the susceptor, is formed to be wound along the outer surface of the susceptor to generate a magnetic field, and heats the susceptor by electromagnetic induction due to the magnetic field; and a shield which is formed to surround an outer surface of the coil to support the coil and blocks the coil from being exposed to the inner space of the growth furnace.
