  • Patent number: 8431070
    Abstract: A mold forming and molding technology operable to produce a silicon ingot suitable for obtaining a solar cell substrate is disclosed. A slurry is prepared comprising particles with surface oxide layers operable to bond the particles to each other. An external force is applied to the slurry to eliminate cohesion of the particles to form a de-cohesive slurry, and an inner surface of a mold base is coated with the de-cohesive slurry to form a releasing layer that reduces defects in the silicon ingot.

  • Patent number: 7641397
    Abstract: The head end surface of an optical fiber (2) and the head end surface of an optical fiber (12) are butted to each other in an alignment member (22) of an adapter (21). In the butting, because one of the members clasping the optical fiber (2) is a plate (4a) that is short, the optical fiber (2) is bent and buckled between the left end of the short plate and the right end of the alignment member. Members clasping the optical fiber (12) are a long plate (14b) and a V-grooved base plate (13), and the optical fiber (12) is therefore horizontally fixed between each of right ends of the long plate and of the V-grooved base plate (13) and the left end of the alignment member. This results that the head end surface of the optical fiber (2) and the head end surface of the optical fiber (12) are in tight contact with each other, achieving excellent optical transmission between both optical fibers.
