        Samenvatting:
        The Ribbon-Growth-on-Substrate (RGS) silicon wafer manufacturing technologyis a very promising high-speed wafer production technique under development
at the moment. It has the promise to lead to a manufacturing technology,
which allows silicon wafer manufacturing at the 25 MWp/a to 50 MWp/a
level.
A future development of this technology in the areas, RGS machine prototyping,
wafer quality improvement and solar cell process optimization should
lead to a commercialization of this technology in 2005.
In the following an outline of the past developments, a status of the
RGS technology today and the most probable road ahead is presented.
