Orientation dependence of defect structure in EFG silicon ribbons
Sustained growth of long lengths of silicon ribbons by the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) technique is shown to result in the attainment of an 'equilibrium' defect structure and orientation by the crystals. The structure consists of parallel defect boundaries parallel to the edges of the ribbon with a specific ribbon orientation. The influence of seed orientation on the attainment of this structure has been examined.

Large area silicon sheet by EFG
Progress in a program to produce high speed, thin, wide silicon sheets for fabricating 10% efficient solar cells is reported. An EFG ribbon growth system was used to perform growth rate and ribbon thickness experiments. A new, wide ribbon growth system was developed. A theoretical study of stresses in ribbons was also conducted. The EFG ribbons were observed to exhibit a characteristic defect structure which is orientation dependent in the early stages of growth.
