Abstract
Advancing miniaturization of microelectronic devices makes the heat removal problem extremely important. It makes to search for cheaper ways for silicon isotopes production. We discuss a number of important constraints to be considered for optimal design of industrial scale silicon isotopes separation facility relying on the laser assisted retarded condensation method. Our calculations are based on the transport model for overcooled, rarefied, and supersonic gas flow in the laser field with frequency tuned for excitation of specific isotopomer.
