Abstract
Photovoltaic industries nowadays demand the flexible solar cell that is composed of thin silicon sheet, since the solar cell needs to be installed on the complex geometry. The new process to produce thin silicon sheet was developed by means of low melting temperature alloy that is pulled horizontally from a container and is solidified in air. As a result of the experiments and numerical simulations, the control of static pressure of the liquid metal in the container turned out to be needed in order to produce thin and uniform metal plate.
