Title: Silicon ribbon growth by a capillary action shaping technique. Quarterly technical progress report No. 6

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7311449· OSTI ID:7311449

The effects of capillary die design on dopant distribution are described. A new technique for thermal geometry control utilizing inert-gas purging was implemented. Routine 38-mm-wide ribbon growth was demonstrated. 50-mm-wide ribbon growth in a length over one meter was achieved. A technology projection and guide to future silicon sheet growth was completed.
