Today, the silicon feedstock for photovoltaic cells comes from
processes which were originally developed for the microelectronic
industry. It covers almost 90% of the photovoltaic market, with
mass production volume at least one order of magnitude larger than
those devoted to microelectronics. However, it is hard to imagine
that this kind of feedstock (extremely pure but heavily penalized
by its high energy cost) could remain the only source of silicon
for a photovoltaic market which is in continuous expansion, and
which has a cumulative growth rate in excess of 30% in the last few
years. Even though reports suggest that the silicon share will
slowly decrease in the next twenty years, finding a way to
manufacture a specific solar grade feedstock in large quantities,
at a low cost while maintaining the quality needed, still remains a
crucial issue. Thin film and quantum confinement-based silicon
cells might be a complementary solution. Advanced Silicon Materials
for Photovoltaic Applications has been designed to describe the
full potentialities of silicon as a multipurpose material and
covers: * Physical, chemical and structural properties of silicon *
Production routes including the promise of low cost feedstock for
PV applications * Defect engineering and the role of impurities and
defects * Characterization techniques, and advanced analytical
techniques for metallic and non-metallic impurities * Thin film
silicon and thin film solar cells * Innovative quantum effects, and
3rd generation solar cells With contributions from internationally
recognized authorities, this book gives a comprehensive analysis of
the state-of-the-art of process technologies and material
properties, essential for anyone interested in the application and
development of photovoltaics.
