In contrast to the only normal load used in nanoindentation, nanoscratches involve both lateral and normal forces during deformation. Therefore, conducting systematic investigations of the deformation of monocrystalline Si wafers caused by nanoscratches may be beneficial to increase the productivity of the machining process.
Meanwhile, Choi et al. have indicated that the gettering treatment of P and Al at 820 °C could reduce the dislocation density of polysilicon wafers by 60% and 55% without influencing the minority carrier lifetime in polycrystalline silicon. However, a higher dislocation density may inhibit the gettering effect.
According to thorough molecular dynamics studies of the nanoindentation of monocrystalline Si, the inelastic deformation of monocrystalline Si is entirely caused by the amorphous phase transition and the commencement of this inelastic deformation can be accurately anticipated by the stress.
The classification, density, distribution of dislocations, and their interactions with other defects in Si can affect the lifetime of minority carriers and thereby reduce the performance of Si solar cells. In order to achieve higher cell efficiency, crystals with less or even no dislocation should be obtained.
From the Si ingots grown to the wafers which can be used to fabricate solar cells, excessive machining is required. The breaking of Si wafer and cracking of Si ingot directly lead to the waste of material cost. So, the diamond line slicing process determines the production cost of the entire Si solar cell industry.
Wafers and thicker slices of an entire n-type monocrystalline silicon ingot were studied using production-compatible electrical and optical characterization techniques. We investigated the capability of these techniques to detect efficiency limiting factors in the early phase of solar cell manufacturing.
