<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel apparatus and/or system for producing a monocrystalline silicon ribbon at a comparatively low cost and having high quality. <P>SOLUTION: This invention relates to an apparatus for forming monocrystalline silicon ribbon. The apparatus includes a crucible where 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 uses the apparatus. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
