Patent ID: 8206616

Claim:
A method for fabricating a liquid containing intermixed elements of groups IB and IIIA, and VIA, comprising the steps of: forming non-oxide nanoparticles containing elements from group IB; IIIA; and VIA; intermixing the non-oxide nanoparticles; and mixing the non-oxide nanoparticles to form a liquid that serves as an ink, wherein forming non-oxide nanoparticles includes a reaction of the type: (IB)(Hal)+(IIIA)(Hal)+TOP(VIA)+TOPO→IB-IIIA-VIA, where IB refers to an element of group IB, IIIA refers to an element of group IIIA, VIA refers to an element of group VIA and Hal refers to a halogen.
