Solar Cell Silicon

We are specialized in the value chain for production of Si substrates for solar cells.

Our core competences are silicon crystal growth and characterisation of materials for solar cells. We have a unique pilot scale crystal growth laboratory

Our activities:

  • Silicon production development
  • Casting and crystal pulling
  • Wafer sawing
  • Material development

Our competence:

  • Crystallization
  • Characterization of structural and electrical parameters
  • Material properties
  • Numerical modeling
  • Manufacturing and process control

Typical tasks:

  • Find replacement for Ag in solar cells
  • Reduce wafer thickness
  • Reduce waste in PV production
  • Reduce Balance of System cost
  • Reduce defect formation in silicon during crystal growth
  • Reduce incorporation of impurities
