The rapid growth in silicon photovoltaics deployment has led to increased research focus on
the energy and capital intensive refining of solar grade silicon for improved environmental …

Silane is a major silicon source gas for production of polycrystalline silicon. Production of
polysilicon from silane has several benefits: lower energy consumption, much easily …

Dynamic optimization solutions largely rely on the accuracy of the underlying mathematical
models. However, these models only represent an approximation of the real dynamic …

Polysilicon production costs contribute approximately to 25–33% of the overall cost of the
solar panels and a similar fraction of the total energy invested in their fabrication …

A parametric study was conducted for the cost reduction of polysilicon by decreasing the
electrical energy loss of an existing Siemens reactor. In this work, a quartz ceramic lining …

The transport phenomena in Siemens reactors has been investigated by using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. The reaction kinetics was validated against …

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is critical to many climate policy goals, as PV electricity
results in little or no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during use, utilities and governments …

The radiative energy loss accounts for roughly 70% of the energy loss in the polysilicon
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors and therefore takes up to about 25% cost in the …

Lack of flexible power source results in the high wind curtailment rate in northern and
western China. Meanwhile, many energy-intensive industrial loads such as the polysilicon …

Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of
well-known authors, editors, and contributors. Originally widely known as the" Willardson …
