Abstract

Temperature–(water vapor) Pressure‐Sintering (TPS) diagrams were established to control the microstructure evolution and densification during sintering of silicon. Experiments were performed under controlled humidified atmospheres and corroborated diagram predictions.

► Silica layer affects silicon particles sintering. ► The silica layer stability domain was calculated. ► Silicon sintering kinetics was estimated. ► Diagrams are used to control silica stability, microstructure and densification.
