The article describes the results of the study of the microstructure and some electrophysical properties of silicon obtained by re-melting in a solar oven. It was found that the granularity of polycrystalline silicon consists of Si atoms with a size of 10-15 µm, the roughness of its surface. Decrease in speci c resistance at T≤600 K, increase in concentration of ionized input atoms and concentration of charge carriers, the position at Т∼600 ÷ 700 K is based on the decrease in the free path of the charge carriers as a result of thermal vibrations of the crystal lattice, the situation at T ≥ 700 K K was explained by the emergence of new recombination centers speci c to localized traps. Polycrystalline silicon heated by sunlight does not create a barrier effect of traps localized in the grain boundary regions from polycrystalline silicon obtained by other methods. This can expand the possibilities of creating highly e cient semiconductor devices, solar cells, thermoelectric materials for micro-and nanoelectronics, photovoltaics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
