    • Defect related radiative recombination in mono-like crystalline silicon wafers 

      Olsen, Espen; Bergan, Simen; Mehl, Torbjørn; Burud, Ingunn; Ekstrøm, Kai Erik; Di Sabatino Lundberg, Marisa (Journal article, 2017)
      We report on studies of sub-bandgap defect related photoluminescence (DRL) signals originating from radiative recombination through traps in the bandgap of cooled mono-like silicon wafers. Spectrally resolved photoluminescence ...

    • Growth and Characterization of Silicon Nanowires for Solar Cell Applications 

      Ekstrøm, Kai Erik (Master thesis, 2011)
      Si-nanowires are being introduced as an attempt to decrease the high recombination rate present in silicon based thin-film solar cells by employing radial pn-junctions instead of conventional planar pn-junctions. Previous ...

    • 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. ...

    • Impurity control in high performance multicrystalline silicon 

      Stokkan, Gaute; Di Sabatino Lundberg, Marisa; Søndenå, Rune; Juel, Mari; Autruffe, Antoine; Adamczyk, Krzysztof; Skarstad, Hanna Vaksvik; Ekstrøm, Kai Erik; Wiig, Marie Syre; You, Chang Chuan; Haug, Halvard; M'hamdi, Mohammed (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. ...

    • Structure Control of Multicrystalline Silicon 

      Ekstrøm, Kai Erik (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:65, Doctoral thesis, 2016)
      This work targets multiple approaches for controlling the initial growth conditions of directional solidification, and their effect on the final material microstructure and performance. Challenges related to both seeded ...

    • The effect of phosphorus diffusion gettering on recombination at grain boundaries in HPMC-silicon wafers 

      Wiig, Marie Syre; Adamczyk, Krzysztof; Haug, Halvard; Ekstrøm, Kai Erik; Søndenå, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The influence of phosphorus diffusion gettering on recombination at grain boundaries has been studied in a commercially cast high performance multicrystalline silicon block. Wafers from four different heights have been ...
