"One Technique called Edge-Defined-Growth draws molten Silicon up through a wide, narrow slit, prodcuing a near-continuous flat, rectangular film of silicon - thickness of the slit. "

I remember RCA (probably amongst others), worked on this 15 or so years ago. IIRC, they had a lot of problems getting quality silicon from this. Too many problems with uneven temperature along the slit.
