Propagation of Crystal Defects during Directional Solidification of Silicon via Induction of Functional Defects

The introduction of directional solidified cast mono silicon promised a combination of the cheaper production via a casting process with monocrystalline material quality, but has been struggling with high concentration of structural defects. The SMART approach uses functional defects to maintain the...
