Ingots are grown through a process known as Czochralski (CZ) method. CZ ingot growth requires chunks of virgin polycrystalline silicon which are placed in a quartz crucible along with small quantities of elements called dopants - the most common of which are boron‚ phosphorus‚ arsenic and antimony. The materials are heated to a temperature above the melting point of silicon‚ 1420 degrees Celsius. Once the polycrystalline and dopant combination has been liquefied‚ a single silicon crystal‚ the seed
