    Abstract: A string for growing ribbon crystal has a core and an outer cover, the cover composed of at least two different materials, chosen with the material of the core in amount and kind such that the CTE of the covered core matches in net, that of the silicon ribbon. The cover material is also chosen so that silicon readily wets significantly around the string, subtending an angle of at least about 55 degrees, up to a fully wetted string, resulting in a relatively thick strong ribbon adjacent the string, closer in thickness to the diameter of the sting. This prevents a thin, fragile ribbon near the string. For silicon ribbon, a cover may be an interspersed composition that is predominantly of silica, with some SiC. The core may also be composed of silica and SiC, in different proportions, and different geometry, or may be a single material, such as Carbon.

    Abstract: Interposer sheet for making silicon solar semiconductor bodies. Interposer is free-standing, thin, flexible, porous and withstands chemical/thermal environment of molten semiconductor without degradation. Interposer is of ceramic material, such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, silicon carbide, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxycarbonitride and others. Provided between a forming surface of a mold sheet, and the molten material from which a semiconductor body will be formed. Secured to the forming surface or deposited upon the melt. Interposer suppresses grain nucleation, and limits heat flow from the melt, promotes separation of the semiconductor body from the forming surface, prefabricated before use. Because free-standing and not adhered to the forming surface, problems of mismatch of CTE are minimized. Interposer and semiconductor body are free to expand and contract relatively independently of the forming surface.

    Abstract: Processes increase light absorption into silicon wafers by selectively changing the reflective properties of the bottom portions of light trapping cavity features. Modification of light trapping features includes: deepening the bottom portion, increasing the curvature of the bottom portion, and roughening the bottom portion, all accomplished through etching. Modification may also be by the selective addition of material at the bottom of cavity features. Different types of features in the same wafers may be treated differently. Some may receive a treatment that improves light trapping while another is deliberately excluded from such treatment. Some may be deepened, some roughened, some both. No alignment is needed to achieve this selectively. The masking step achieves self-alignment to previously created light trapping features due to softening and deformation in place.

    Abstract: A thin polymer film is formed on a substrate. An apparatus is described for transforming a solid polymer resist into an aerosol of small particles, electrostatically charging and depositing the particles onto a substrate, and flowing the particles into a continuous layer. An apparatus is further described for transforming solid resist into an aerosol of small particles by heating the resist to form a low viscosity liquid; the liquid being suitable for jet or impact nebulization and aerosol particle sizing to form the aerosol. A method is further described of using ionized gas to confer charge onto the aerosol particles and using a progression of charging devices, establish an electric field directing the flow of charged particles to the substrate. The progression of charging devices and associated apparatus results in high collection efficiency for the aerosol particles.

    Abstract: A porous lift off layer facilitates removal of films from surfaces, such as semiconductors. A layer, with porosities typically larger than the film thickness is provided where no film is desired. The film is applied over the porous layer and also where it is desired. The porous material and the film are then removed from areas where film is not intended. The porous layer can be provided as a slurry, dried to open porosities, or fugitive particles within a field, which disassociate upon the application of heat or solvent. The film can be removed by etchant that enters through porosities that have arisen due to the film not bridging the spaces between solid portions. Etchant attacks both film surfaces. Particles may have diameters of four to ten times the film thickness. Particles may be silica, alumina and ceramics. Porous layers can be used in depressions or on flat surfaces.
