The edge-defined film-fed crystal growth method (EFG) is considered an excellent method and it is widely used for growing shaped crystals because of its fast growth speed and low processing cost. The principle, characteristics and history of the EFG method are reviewed, the application of EFG in shaped crystal growth, such as sapphire and silicon, is discussed in particular. The problems in EFG growth crystals are discussed.
