Long-time search for green energy as a replacement of the depleting conventional sources
to the eternal power demand still remains as an unanswered question. But the steady …

Abstract Bulk Silicon (Si) possesses an indirect bandgap and low surface area to volume
ratio. Porous silicon (PSi), a derived material of Si, overcomes drawbacks of Si, and …

Several techniques have been proposed for kerfless wafering of thin Si wafers, which is one
of the most essential techniques for reducing Si material loss in conventional wafering …

The production of flexible monocrystalline semiconductor thin films less than a few tens of
micrometers in thickness is currently receiving huge interest in various emerging …

Kerfless silicon wafers epitaxially grown on porous silicon (PSI) and subsequently detached
from the growth substrate are a promising candidate for reducing the cost of the silicon …

Conventional silicon (Si) wafers are produced by energy‐intensive ingot crystallization
which is responsible for a major share of a solar cell's carbon footprint. This work explores Si …

Silicon wafers are essential components in the production of various devices, including
integrated circuits, microchips, and solar cells. The quality and characteristics of silicon …

Aiming for highly efficient solar cells based on wafers with a low carbon footprint, silicon (Si)
EpiWafers are grown epitaxially on reusable, highly doped Si substrates with a stack of …

PERC is the most common cell type in today's fabrication of crystalline Si solar cells.
