Large-area sheet task advanced dendritic web growth development

The "discrete shield' temperature model was completed and verified. Modifications to the J419 low stress configuration were tested experimentally to evaluate effects on growth speed. A composite lid and shield configuration combining the low stress features of the J419 with the width limiting characteristics of the J98M3 was fabricated and tested in the N-furnace. Several long crystals were grown with width limited to about 3.3 cm and with melt replenishment, although the configuration is not yet optimized for steady state growth.

Large-area sheet task advanced dendritic web growth development

The thermal stress models were used to test the effect of melt level on stress generation and growth velocity. The results indicate that melt level has only small effects on stresses but significant effects on growth velocity. These results are consistent with experimental growth from measured melt levels. A new low-stress design concept is being evaluated with the models. A width-limiting version of the low-stress J460 configuration was tested experimentally with results consistent with the design goals.

Silicon material and JPL Web Team

Silicon material activities are described. Topics discussed include: fluidized bed technology, model predictions (reaction kinetics and grid design parameters), seed-particle cleaning procedure, runaway nucleation, thermal analysis of dendritic ribbons, and residual stress in dendritic ribbons.

Silicon dendritic web growth thermal analysis task

A thermal analysis model is presented which describes the dendritic ribbon process. The model uses a melt-dendrite interface which projects out of the bulk melt as the basic interpretation of the ribbon production process. This is a marked departure from the interpretations of the interface phenomena which were used previously. The model was extensively illustrated with diagrams and pictures of ribbon samples. This model should have great impact on the analyses of experimental data as well as on future design modifications of ribbon-pulling equipment.

Development of high-efficiency solar cells on silicon web

High-efficiency dendritic cells were discussed. The influence of twin planes and heat treatment on the location and effect of trace impurities was of particular interest. Proper heat treatment often increases efficiency by causing impurities to pile up at twin planes. Oxide passivation had a beneficial effect on efficiency. A very efficient antireflective (AR) coating of zinc selenide and magnesium fluoride was designed and fabricated. An aluminum back-surface reflector was also effective.

On control of stresses in silicon web growth

It has been observed that the residual stresses and dislocations during the silicon crystal growth for photovoltaic applications are caused by thermal stresses. The temperatures along the boundaries of the silicon crystal ribbon are prescribed to meet the requirements of the crystal growth. It is shown that by allowing the temperatures to satisfy a second-order partial differential equation in the ribbon, all thermal stresses, and others induced by them, may be eliminated for the stress-free growth of the silicon crystal.
