The result is a silicon crystal ingot that is either positively (p-type) or negatively charged (n-type). Slices of the ingot approximately 1/30th of an inch thick are cut from this "crystal salami ...

This oxygen may then evaporate or be dissolved into the silicon ingots. The researchers simulated a CZ process for an ingot with a diameter of 200 mm diameter and a length of 700 mm. They ...

At the base is polysilicon - a high-purity, fine-grained crystalline silicon product, which is turned into ingot and wafers. Silicon wafers are then fabricated into photovoltaic (PV) cells. Listing ...
