摘要：

Several techniques for the sheet growth of silicon for solar cell substrates are reviewed here. These techniques usually offer an economic advantage over growth in the form of bulk crystals. At least 16 different sheet growth systems have been proposed but only five, that are actively being pursued for commercialization, are discussed here. These include dendritic web, string ribbon, edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG), ribbon growth on a substrate (RGS), and Silicon-Film(TM). The growth systems and the characteristics of the resulting solar cells are briefly described. A discussion of their current status concludes the review.
