Balint balint@ Received 24 July 2007 Revised 26 November 2007 Accepted 16 February 2008 Recommended by Kok Teo A second-order nonlinear differential equation of which some solutions describe the static meniscus free surface the static liquid bridge free surface between the shaper and the crystal surface occurring in single crystal ribbon growth is analyzed. The analysis is focusing on the dependence of the solutions of the equation on the pressure difference p across the free surface. Inequalities are deduced for p which are necessary or sufficient conditions for the stable and convex free surface of a static meniscus. The obtained results are numerically illustrated in the case of a silicon single crystal ribbon growth. The advantage of these kinds of inequalities is that from them special results can be gleaned concerning the experiment planning and technology design. With this aim this study was undertaken.

Introduction According to 1 modern engineering needs crystals with prescribed shapes and sizes ribbon- rod- and tube-shaped crystals that allow one to use them as final products without additional machining. Therefore crystals of specified sizes and shapes are required to be grown from
