Towards 25% efficiency solar cells: modeling and controlling defects in float zone silicon
The project will continue developing a computer model capable of predicting defect concentrations and distributions as a function of parameters during the float-zone process that produces silicon for solar cell production. The object is to pave the way for better-quality silicon that can increase the de facto efficiency of solar cells.
