Research Abstract

We investigated carbon impurities in multicrystalline Si for solar cells. Our targets were to reveal the behavior of carbon impurities in the crystal growth process and to quantify the electrical properties of carbon precipitations and dissolved impurities. For the former, we created a model of impurities incorporation and clarified the incorporation mechanism by comparing the calculation results based on the model and the results of crystal growth experiments. For the later, we demonstrated the influence of the carbon precipitates on the electrical properties of the crystal. The investigation for influence of the dissolved carbon impurities is the challenge for the future.
