Chemical etching to dissolve dislocation cores in multicrystalline silicon
Multicrystalline silicon wafers are used for approximately half of all solar cells produced at present. These wafers typically have dislocation densities of up to ∼10 6 cm -2. Dislocations and associated impurities act as strong recombination centres for electron-hole pairs and are one of the major...
