NOVELTY - The sheet production apparatus comprises: a vessel configured to hold a melt (10) of a material; a cooling plate disposed proximate the melt; and a first gas jet configured to direct a gas toward an edge of the vessel. The cooling plate forms a sheet (13) of material that is horizontal on the melt proximate the cooling plate. The apparatus further comprises: a pump configured to cause the melt to flow; a second gas jet configured to direct the gas toward the edge of the vessel; and a support table (23) disposed adjacent the first gas jet and configured to support the sheet.    USE - The apparatus is useful for producing a sheet (claimed) that is useful for producing an integrated circuit, a solar cell, a flat panels and an LED.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus independently controls the melt flow speed by stabilizing the meniscus using the first gas jet thus enabling a simpler seeding process and hence the sheet is removed from the melt surface without spilling the melt.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The sheet production apparatus comprises: a vessel configured to hold a melt (10) of a material; a cooling plate disposed proximate the melt; and a first gas jet configured to direct a gas toward an edge of the vessel. The cooling plate forms a sheet (13) of material that is horizontal on the melt proximate the cooling plate. The apparatus further comprises: a pump configured to cause the melt to flow; a second gas jet configured to direct the gas toward the edge of the vessel; a support table (23) disposed adjacent the first gas jet and configured to support the sheet; and a pressure cell (26) surrounding the sheet and having a higher pressure than outside the pressure cell. The melt is configured to circulate within the vessel. The second gas jet is positioned opposite the first gas jet. The first gas jet is within the pressure cell. The sheet is separated from the melt at the edge of the vessel and forms a meniscus (27) in the melt. The first gas jet directs the gas toward the meniscus.
