3D Viscoplastic Finite Element Modeling of Dislocation Generation in a Large Size Si Ingot of the Directional Solidification Stage
Growing very large size silicon ingots with low dislocation density is a critical issue for the photovoltaic industry to reduce the production cost of the high-efficiency solar cell for affordable green energy. The thermal stresses, which are produced as the result of the non-uniform temperature fie...
