Measurement and analysis of wire sawing induced residual stress in photovoltaic silicon wafers

The manufacturing process of a photovoltaic Si wafer comprises of first a high temperature heating process to produce a Si ingot from polycrystalline Silicon, which is then cut into bricks and subsequently sawn into wafers using a wire saw. These processes create residual stresses both from the ther...
