A method of producing rectangular seed bricks for use in semiconductor or solar manufacturing is disclosed. The method includes connecting an alignment layer to a top surface of a template, drawing alignment lines on the alignment layer to demarcate a plurality of nodes, connecting cylindrical rods to the alignment layer such that a center of each rod is aligned with a corresponding node, and slicing through the rods and the alignment layer with a wire web to produce rectangular seed bricks.
