Abstract: A process for melting powders of a semiconductor material, such as silicon, to yield a high-purity solid product. The process generally entails introducing the powder into an elevated end of a tube inclined from horizontal and, while maintaining an inert atmosphere within the tube, rotating the tube so as to agitate and cause the powder therein to flow toward an oppositely-disposed lower end of the tube while heating the tube so that the powder melts as it flows toward the lower end of the tube. The molten material is then allowed to flow freely from the lower end of the tube and subsequently solidify to form a product.

Abstract: There is provided a method of fabricating a wafer, comprising depositing semiconductor material into a recess in a setter, moving the setter through a heating/cooling region to subject the semiconductor material to a temperature profile, and removing a wafer from the recess. The size and shape of the wafer are substantially equal to the size of the wafer when it is used. As a result, the wafer can be fabricated in any desired shape and with any of a variety of surface structural features and/or internal structural features. The temperature profile can be closely controlled, enabling production of wafers having structural features not previously obtainable. There are also provided wafers formed by such methods and setters for use in such methods.
