Abstract

The article presents the results of experimental studies to control of defects of monocrystalline silicon wafers. Monocrystalline silicon is one of the major solar energy materials. Therefore, control of its defects is an important task that leads to saving of production resources and reduce the cost of photovoltaic solar cells put into operation. Defects in the wafer of monocrystalline silicon are observed under the excitation of negative pulsed corona discharge in the air gap over them. This method of corona discharge excitation in the planar electrode system with a dielectric insulating wafer allows adjusting the voltage and current of the discharge.

A feature of the proposed method is to produce a corona discharge at a relatively low voltage of 1-1,5 kV. Using a transparent electrode makes it possible to observe defects and measure their brightness and geometrical parameters of the corona via TV information and measuring system. In particular, the authors have observed the luminescence of the defects in the crystalline silicon wafer under the excitation of negative pulsed corona discharge in the air.

The results can be used to control the silicon wafers in the manufacture of photovoltaic solar cells.
