The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of servicing multiple crystal forming apparatus with a single melter assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
positioning the melter assembly above a first crystal forming apparatus for delivering molten silicon to a crucible of the first apparatus;
operating a heater in the melter assembly to melt source material in a melting crucible of the melter assembly;
delivering a stream of molten source material from the melter assembly to the first crystal forming apparatus;
moving the melter assembly to a position above a second crystal forming apparatus for delivering molten silicon to a crucible of the second apparatus;
delivering a stream of molten source material from the melter assembly to the second crystal forming apparatus.
2. A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein operating a heater in the melter assembly to melt source material comprises providing electrical power to an upper induction coil of the heater.
3. A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein delivering a stream of molten source material comprises providing electrical power to a lower induction coil of the heater to initiate flow through an orifice of the melter assembly.
4. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising discontinuing the flow of molten source material from the melting crucible by discontinuing the operation of the heater.
5. A method as set forth in claim 4 wherein the step of discontinuing the flow of molten source material comprises forming a solid plug of source material preventing flow from the melting crucible.
6. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising growing a monocrystalline ingot from the source material delivered to at least one of said first crystal forming apparatus and said second crystal forming apparatus.
7. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising forming a polycrystalline body from the source material delivered to at least one of said first crystal forming apparatus and said second crystal forming apparatus.
8. A method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said polycrystalline body comprises a hollow polygonal silicon body formed by an Edge-defined Film Growth method.
9. A method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said polycrystalline body comprises a ribbon of polycrystalline silicon.
10. A method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said polycrystalline body comprises a cast silicon body.
11. A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said moving the melter assembly to a position above the second crystal forming apparatus comprises lifting the melter assembly.
