Impurity and Defect Characterization in Silicon: Final Technical Report, 1 October 1991 - March 1992

Impurity and Defect Characterization in Silicon: Final Technical Report, 1 October 1991 - March 1992

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to carry out an in-depth impurity analysis of polycrystalline samples, using techniques such as DLTS, FTIR, and light and dark I-V and correlate their effects on the photovoltaic parameters. The second object of this research was to understand the role of defect and gettering in polycrystalline silicon and develop processes for fabricating high efficiencypolycrystalline cells using conventional process sequence and provide silicon solar cells to NREL for optically processed metallization.
