The invention discloses a polysilicon
ingot casting device and
ingot casting method. The
ingot casting device disclosed by the invention comprises a
crucible containing a
silicon material. The
ingot casting device is characterized by also comprising a gas delivery
pipe and a
power unit, wherein the gas delivery
pipe is used for delivering
argon gas to
silicon liquid obtained by melting the
silicon material; the
power unit is used for driving the gas outlet end of the gas delivery
pipe to
charge and discharge the silicon liquid; the gas inlet end of the gas delivery pipe is arranged outside the
crucible; and the
power output end of the
power unit is fixedly connected with the gas outlet end of the gas delivery pipe. The
argon gas introduced into the silicon liquid can accelerate the separation of impurities in the silicon liquid from the silicon liquid, so that the impurities contained in the silicon material are quickly separated from the silicon liquid in the
molecular motion process and reach to the silicon liquid surface to be volatilized so as to carry the impurities in the silicon liquid away, thereby increasing the
impurity volatilization amount, reducing the
impurity content in the silicon ingot, and enhancing the quality of the silicon ingot. Meanwhile, the delivery of the
argon gas into the silicon liquid is carried out after melting the silicon material into the silicon liquid, and is finished before the silicon
liquid crystal growth process; and the process can not prolong the existing
ingot casting time or influence the existing
ingot casting procedure, and thus, is convenient to implement.
