Abstract: An ingot having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a third surface extending in a first direction from the second surface to the first surface and connecting the first and second surfaces includes a first mono-like crystalline portion, a first intermediate portion including one or more mono-like crystalline sections, and a second mono-like crystalline portion sequentially adjacent to one another in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first and second mono-like crystalline portions have a greater width than the first intermediate portion in the second direction. A first boundary between the first mono-like crystalline portion and the first intermediate portion and a second boundary between the second mono-like crystalline portion and the first intermediate portion each include a coincidence boundary. At least one of the first or second boundary is curved in an imaginary cross section perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: An ingot having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface in a first direction includes a first mono-like crystalline portion, a first intermediate portion including a mono-like crystalline section, a second mono-like crystalline portion, a second intermediate portion including a mono-like crystalline section, and a third mono-like crystalline portion. The first mono-like crystalline portion, the first intermediate portion, and the second mono-like crystalline portion are adjacent to one another in sequence in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first mono-like crystalline portion, the second intermediate portion, and the third mono-like crystalline portion are adjacent to one another in sequence in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and crossing the second direction.
