The effect of preliminary heat treatment on the durability of reaction bonded silicon nitride crucibles for solar cells applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Silicon nitride crucibles have the potential to replace silica crucibles and reduce the cost of silicon crystallization because of their reusability potential. Till date, crucibles’ heat treatment before each use is a ... -
In-situ studies of multicrystalline silicon nucleation and growth on alpha- and beta-Si3N4 coated substrates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The growth of silicon on various nitride coated quartz substrates were studied using in-situ observation of the solidification process. Three different coating types were used: One consisting entirely of α-Si3N4 particles, ... -
Investigation of pinholes in Czochralski silicon ingots in relation to structure loss
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the production of monocrystalline silicon by the Czochralski process, structure loss frequently reduces yield and increases production time. Structure loss means the transition from monocrystalline to multicrystalline ... -
Orientation relationship between b-Si3N4 and Si in multicrystalline silicon ingots for PV applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)β-Si3N4 particles are thought to be nucleation sites for silicon in multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) ingots for PV applications. The orientation relationship (OR) between Si and β-Si3N4 has been investigated by transmission ... -
SiC crystalline micro bullets on bio-carbon based charcoal substrate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Silicon carbide (SiC) micro bullets were grown on a bio-carbon based charcoal substrate, the morphology and crystal structure were analyzed. In order to collect the crystallographic details scanning electron microscopy ...
