• Grain boundary effect on lifetime in high performance multicrystalline silicon during solar cell processing 

      Adamczyk, Krzysztof; Søndenå, Rune; M'hamdi, Mohammed; Autruffe, Antoine; Stokkan, Gaute; Di Sabatino, Marisa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      High performance multicrystalline silicon wafers used in solar cell processing have been investigated with focus on quantification of the grain boundary effect on lifetime. The lifetime of a set of 16 wafers from different ...
    • High performance multicrystalline silicon: Grain structure and iron precipitation 

      Autruffe, Antoine; M'hamdi, Mohammed; Schindler, Florian; Heinz, Friedemann D.; Ekstrøm, Kai Erik; Schubert, Martin C.; Di Sabatino Lundberg, Marisa; Stokkan, Gaute (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We report results from a national project about impurities in high performance multicrystalline silicon: Contamination sources, transport routes, interaction with crystal defects and impact on solar cell efficiency parameters. ...
    • Impurities in the Crucible-Coating-Silicon System for Solar Cell Applications 

      Esser, Cecilie Bjørgen (Master thesis, 2015)
      Materials of high purity are required for the production of crystalline silicon for solar cells. Impurities are indeed very detrimental to solar cell efficiency. Contamination can occur at many stages during the processing, ...

      We report results from a national project about impurities in high performance multicrystalline silicon: Contamination sources, transport routes, interaction with crystal defects and impact on solar cell efficiency parameters. ...
    • Internal Gettering of Iron at Extended Defects 

      Knörlein, Michael; Autruffe, Antoine; Søndenå, Rune; Di Sabatino, Marisa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The role of iron in crystalline silicon solar cells has been extensively investigated, yet the interaction mechanisms with structural defects have not been fully understood. In this work we have investigated a multicrystalline ...
