Abstract:
A susceptor for supporting a crucible includes a body with an interior surface defining a cavity. A coating is disposed on the interior surface to provide a barrier for preventing contact between the body of the susceptor and the crucible disposed within the cavity.
Abstract:
A method of bonding a first silica part to a second silica part includes coating contacting surfaces of the first and second silica parts with a solution having one of silica and silica precursors. The coated surfaces of the first silica part are placed adjacent to the coated surfaces of the second silica part to form an assembly, and the assembly is heated.
