Crystalline Silicon Spalling as a Direct Application of Temperature Effect on Semiconductors’ Indentation

Kerf-less removal of surface layers of photovoltaic materials including silicon is an emerging technology by controlled spalling technology. The method is extremely simple, versatile, and applicable to a wide range of substrates. Controlled spalling technology requires a stressor layer, such as Ni,...
