Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for forming monocrystalline silicon ribbon. The apparatus includes a crucible wherein a silicon melt is formed. The melt is allowed to flow substantially vertically out of the crucible and to contact a silicon seed crystal before solidification. Pursuant to solidification into a ribbon, further cooling of the ribbon occurs under controlled conditions and the ribbon is ultimately cut. Also, a method for forming monocrystalline silicon ribbon using the aforementioned apparatus.
