Researchers from Norway and Germany investigated the influence of impurities in fused quartz crucibles used in silicon PV ingot production. The results suggest that the key factors influencing ...

The result is a silicon crystal ingot that is either positively (p-type) or negatively charged (n-type). Slices of the ingot approximately 1/30th of an inch thick are cut from this "crystal salami ...

Through this process, the impurities are initially released into a solid solution and then undergo diffusion through the silicon ... from subsequently pulled ingots with varying impurity ...

At the base is polysilicon - a high-purity, fine-grained crystalline silicon product, which is turned into ingot and wafers.

At the base is polysilicon - a high-purity, fine-grained crystalline silicon product, which is turned into ingot and wafers. Silicon wafers are then fabricated into photovoltaic (PV) cells. Listing ...
