Solid ribbon of silicon pulled horizontally over lip of crucible. As heat leaves silicon by radiation, conduction, and convections, surface layer solidifies from liquid. Horizontal growth of ribbon offers several advantages over vertical growth. It is faster--possibly 1 to 2 centimeters per second-and is done without using drawing dies, source of contamination in vertical growth.
