  • Method and material for purifying iron disilicide for photovoltaic application
    Patent number: 8614396
    Abstract: A method for processing iron disilicide for manufacture photovoltaic devices. The method includes providing a first sample of iron disilicide comprising at least an alpha phase entity, a beta phase entity, and an epsilon phase entity. The method includes maintaining the first sample of iron disilicide in an inert environment and subjects the first sample of iron disilicide to a thermal process to form a second sample of iron disilicide. The second sample of iron disilicide comprises substantially beta phase iron disilicide and is characterized by a first particle size. The method includes introducing an organic solvent to the second sample of iron disilicide, forming a first mixture of material comprising the second sample of iron disilicide and the organic solvent. The method processed the first mixture of material including the second sample of iron disilicide using a grinding process.

  • Method and material for processing iron disilicide for photovoltaic application
    Patent number: 8247257
    Abstract: A method for providing a semiconductor material for photovoltaic devices, the method includes providing a sample of iron disilicide comprising approximately 90 percent or greater of a beta phase entity. The sample of iron disilicide is characterized by a substantially uniform first particle size ranging from about 1 micron to about 10 microns. The method includes combining the sample of iron disilicide and a binding material to form a mixture of material. The method includes providing a substrate member including a surface region and deposits the mixture of material overlying the surface region of the substrate. In a specific embodiment, the mixture of material is subjected to a post-deposition process such as a curing process to form a thickness of material comprising the sample of iron disilicide overlying the substrate member. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of material is characterized by a thickness of about the first particle size.
