The development of edge-defined, film-fed growth (EFG) techniques for silicon ribbons has prompted analyses of appropriate die materials, die shapes, meniscus shapes and thermal gradients. The requirement for high electronic quality of the ribbons, in conjunction with the high effective solute distribution coefficients expected for EFG, narrows the choice of die materials primarily to graphite and fused silica. The shape of the meniscus between crystal and die has been calculated. This shape, together with contact angle information, is used to determine design criteria for both graphite and silica dies. The effect of crystal growth on the temperature gradient ahead of the growth interface has been calculated in terms of the ribbon thickness and an empirical parameter characterizing the radiating environment of the growth apparatus. Numerous 25 mm wide × 0.3 mm thick ribbons from carbon dies and a few small ribbons from silica dies have so far been grown. The ribbon quality is discussed.
