“…Lasers have been proved to be a successful tool for large scale manufacturing, 7 because of their low cost, high efficiency, high throughput, and easy operation. In renewable energy applications, laser processing was reported to perform laser doping, 8 laser transferring, 9 and laser texturing. 10 In this work, thin films made of plasma synthesized Si 80 Ge 20 nanoparticles doped with phosphorous were sintered by a long pulsed infrared laser.…”
