    Abstract: A system for growing a crystal ingot from a melt includes a first crucible, a second crucible, and a weir. The first crucible has a first base with a top surface and a first sidewall that form a first cavity. The second crucible is disposed within the first cavity of the first crucible, and has a second base and a second sidewall that form a second cavity. The second base has a bottom surface that is shaped to allow the second base to rest against the top surface of the first base. The second crucible includes a crucible passageway to allow movement of the melt therethrough. The weir is disposed inward from the second sidewall to inhibit movement of the melt from a location outward of the weir to a location inward of the weir.

    Abstract: A method of improving the operation of polysilicon fluidized bed reactors is disclosed. The present disclosure is directed to the optimization of axial temperature gradients in gas-solid fluidized bed systems. Varying the width of the particle size distribution in the reactor alters the temperature gradient within the reactor, thereby providing a means of a better control of internal temperature profiles and hence better reactor performance.

    Abstract: A platen for polishing a surface of a wafer has a reaction plate, a polishing plate, and a bladder. The reaction plate has a top and bottom surface, and defines a longitudinal axis. The polishing plate is positioned coaxially with the reaction plate. The polishing plate has a second top surface and a second bottom surface. The second top surface is adjacent to the bottom surface of the reaction plate. The bladder is coaxially located along a radially outer portion of either the top or bottom surface of the reaction plate. The bladder is connected with the polishing plate and able to expand to deform the polishing plate with respect to the bottom surface of the reaction plate.

    Abstract: A system for growing an ingot from a melt includes a first crucible, a second crucible, and a weir. The first crucible has a first base and a first sidewall that form an outer cavity for containing the melt. The weir is located on top of the first base at a location inward from the first sidewall to inhibit movement of the melt from a location outward of the weir to a location inward of the weir. The second crucible is sized for placement within the outer cavity and has a second base and a second sidewall that form an inner cavity. Related methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for scheduling cleaning of a photovoltaic (“PV”) system is implemented by a soiling monitoring computer system. The method includes determining a soiling level and a soiling rate for a photovoltaic (PV) system, calculating a cost associated with cleaning the PV system at each of a plurality of possible cleaning times, determining an expected energy output gain associated with cleaning the PV system at each of the plurality of possible times based on the soiling level and the soiling rate, calculating an expected benefit associated with cleaning the PV system at each of the plurality of possible cleaning times based on the expected energy output gain associated with each possible cleaning time, determining a first time of the plurality of possible times when the expected benefit exceeds the cost, and scheduling a cleaning time based on at least the determined first time.
