Abstract

In this work a new type of contamination-free SixNy seed particles for the directional solidification of HPM silicon ingots is introduced and evaluated. Several G1 crystallization experiments have been carried out to examine the influence of the seed particle size, the introduced mass and the influence of the composition of the underlying Si3N4 coating at the crucible bottom. Finally, multi-PERC cells over the ingot height from one of the most promising SixNy seeded ingot have been prepared.
