A group of researchers from the University of Konstanz in Germany and Chinese solar module manufacturer Longi have investigated the impact of impurity concentrations caused by gettering on the ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a material of choice for high-temperature and high-power applications owing to its wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity and robust electrical properties. In ...

Heterojunction solar cells could provide the next big efficiency leap in solar output, but their need for low processing temperatures means they require very high quality, expensive n-type silicon ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Doping, which can provide charge carriers to semiconductors, is an essential technology for semiconductors and devices, and it can be classified as n- and p-doping depending on ...

The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...
