An investigation into fracture of multi-crystalline silicon

As the thickness of multi-crystalline silicon solar cells continues to reduce, understanding the mechanical properties of the material is of increasing importance. In this study, a variety of techniques are used to study multi-crystalline silicon. Fracture tests are performed using four- and three-p...
