The present invention provides a method of recrystallizing a silicon sheet, and in particular recrystallizing a small grained silicon sheet to improve material properties such as grain size and orientation. According to one aspect, the method includes using rapid thermal processing (RTP) to melt and...http://www.google.de/patents/US7569462?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7569462 - Directional crystallization of silicon sheets using rapid thermal processing
