ABSTRACT:
Solar cell quality semiconductors are grown using a constant temperature sliding boat liquid phase process in a continuous or semi-continuous mode. The growth is driven by applying a temperature gradient or other gradient across the melt, with the substrate at a cooler temperature, after thermal equilibrium is obtained between the solution and the substrate. Growth occurs from the bottom of the solution to prevent contamination of the growth layers by extraneous particles in the solution.
