“…And it is the first ribbon silicon technique for silicon wafer production to enter into large-scale fabrication in the solar cells industry. EFG [4] growth involves the movement of molten silicon up the interior of a graphite die by capillary action, after it can be mechanically pulled (Fig. 1).…”

Solar cell is one of most important renewable energy. But now it is not be widely used because of its high cost compared with traditional resource. Ribbon silicon is one new low cost solar cell material avoiding ingot casting and slicing. It is a promising silicon wafer fabrication technology alternative to traditional ingot casting and slicing. Using ribbon silicon can make solar cell production cost greatly reduced. In this paper EFG, String Ribbon and a novel silicon wafer are discussed.
