Abstract
A novel cartridge containing selected crystal growth components is provided for use in a crystal growing system. The cartridge is adapted to be mounted directly to a crystal pulling mechanism and is arranged so that it can be inserted into a furnace containing a supply of molten feed material. The cartridge includes a crystal growing die, a die holder, and associated crystal growth components arranged to permit rapid growth of selected shape. The cartridge is assembled outside of the furnace at room temperature and can be inserted into and removed from the furnace without having to cool the latter.
