Plasma Synthesis of Silicon Nanocrystal InksL. Mangolini, X.-D. Pi, U. KortshagenUniversity of Minnesota MRSEC, proto-IRG Timothy P. Lodge, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, DMR 0212302 • A nonthermal plasma process was developed to produce inks of silicon nanocrystals. • Silicon nanocrystal inks can strongly reduce the cost of forming silicon films through low-cost ink-jet printing. • Ink-jet printed silicon films may significantly reduce the cost of silicon solar cells.
