Title:
PROCESS FOR THE FORMATION OF SILICON METAL SHEETS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/009017
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of silicon metal sheets. First, silicon metal is produced in the form of a metal powder encapsulated in a salt or salts. The salt-coated particles are then applied to a substrate, and then the salt coating can be removed to leave a coating of silicon metal powder (which can be sintered to form a sheet or coating), or a coating of silicon metal if the salt removal is accomplished at high enough temperatures to sinter the silicon metal within the salt coating.
