A method for the production of substantially monocrystalline bands for use in the production of electronic fixed body arrangements, in particular in the production of solar cells

摘要

A method is provided for producing flat substantially monocrystalline ribbons, e.g. silicon ribbons for use in making flat solar cells. The ribbons are produced by growing substantially monocrystalline flat hollow tubes, and then excising the edge portions of the tubes so that the flat sides of the tubes form discrete ribbons.
