A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035193A1) describes an ingot puller apparatus designed for manufacturing single crystal silicon ingots. The apparatus includes an ingot puller housing with a growth chamber for pulling the silicon ingot from a melt, a crucible assembly within the growth chamber, and a cooling jacket device. This cooling jacket device consists of an inner shell, outer shell, and multiple tubes forming cooling fluid passageways between them. The design allows for efficient cooling of the ingot during the manufacturing process.

Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and features of the ingot puller apparatus, such as the arrangement of tubes extending from the inner to the outer shell, the formation of cooling fluid return channels between adjacent tubes, and the presence of a flange for inlet and return cooling fluid plenums. The apparatus also includes a heat shield and specifies the dimensions and cross-section shapes of the tubes. With a focus on optimizing the cooling process and ensuring the quality of the silicon ingot produced, this patent showcases innovative advancements in the field of single crystal silicon manufacturing technology.
