In this paper the limits of the pressure difference across the free surface which have to be used to obtain a stable convex static meniscus with a prescribed size in the case of a Ge1-XSiX single crystal ribbon growth by E.F.G. technique are found. The dependence of these limits on the composition X is analyzed. The same tools as for a Ge or Si single crystal ribbon growth are used. The results can be useful in a future experiment or manufacturing technology design.
