Abstract
A method of producing monocrystalline semiconductor material in web form which provides the steps of providing a web of polycrystalline semiconductor material having a width which is much greater than its thickness, providing a monocrystalline semiconductor material seed having the same relative dimensions as the polycrystalline material source, providing one or more semiconductor material shaping members, contacting the source, the seed and the shaping member and heating the interface therebetween preferentially to produce a molten zone, moving said monocrystalline semiconductor material seed away from said molten zone as monocrystalline semiconductor material is formed thereon.
