COMPOSITE ACTIVE MOLDS AND METHODS OF MAKING ARTICLES OF SEMICONDUCTING MATERIAL

摘要

The disclosure relates to a substrate mold comprising a shell material having an external surface configured to engage with molten semiconducting material, and an internal surface configured as a thermal transfer surface to transfer heat therethrough, and a core defined within the shell material and configured to remove heat from the shell material through the thermal transfer surface of the shell material. The substrate mold is configured to be immersed into the molten semiconducting material, and the external surface of the shell material is configured to have solidified molten semiconducting material formed thereon.
