摘要:
A method for treating semiconducting materials includes providing a semiconducting material having a crystalline structure, pre-heating a portion of the semiconducting material to a temperature less than the melting temperature of the semiconducting material, and then cooling the semiconducting material prior to exposing at least the portion of the semiconducting material to a heat source to create a melt pool, and cooling the semiconducting material.
摘要:
A method for treating semiconducting materials is disclosed. In the disclosed method, a semiconducting material having a crystalline structure is provided, at least a portion of the semiconducting material is exposed to a heat source to create a melt pool, and the semiconducting material is then cooled. Semiconducting materials treated by the method are also disclosed.
摘要:
Methods for making and/or treating articles of semiconducting material are disclosed. In various methods, a first article of semiconducting material is provided, the first article of semiconducting material is heated sufficiently to melt the semiconducting material, and the melted semiconducting material is solidified in a direction substantially parallel to a shortest dimension of the melted article of semiconducting material. Articles of semiconducting materials made by methods described herein are also disclosed.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to a substrate mold comprising a shell material having an external surface configured to engage with molten semiconducting material, and an internal surface configured as a thermal transfer surface to transfer heat therethrough, and a core defined within the shell material and configured to remove heat from the shell material through the thermal transfer surface of the shell material. The substrate mold is configured to be immersed into the molten semiconducting material, and the external surface of the shell material is configured to have solidified molten semiconducting material formed thereon.

摘要:
A method of treating a sheet of semiconducting material comprises forming a sinterable first layer over each major surface of a sheet of semiconducting material, forming a second layer over each of the first layers to form a particle-coated semiconductor sheet, placing the particle-coated sheet between end members, heating the particle-coated sheet to a temperature effective to at least partially sinter the first layer and at least partially melt the semiconducting material, and cooling the particle-coated sheet to solidify the semiconducting material and form a treated sheet of semiconducting material.
