9、ctron lifetime1. IntroductionMulticrystalline silicon is the most used material in solar cells with a share of more than 50% of the shipped PV modules world-wide [1]. Directional solidification is a com- mon method to ca
10、st multicrystalline silicon for use in solar cells. Here, the silicon is melted and solidified from below by extraction of heat through the crucible bottom, resulting in a nearly planar solid/liquid interface. Most impur
11、ities are segregated towards the top, and the final crystal structure is dominated by large columnar grains parallel to the solidification direction. The solar energy conversion efficiency of multicrystalline solar cells
12、 is typically in the range of 12–15%. The efficiency is mainly limited by minority carrier recombination at disloca- tions and intragranular defects such as impurities, small clusters of atoms, or precipitates [2]. Since
13、 recombination at pure dis- locations is known to be relatively weak, it has been suggested? Corresponding author. Tel.: +47 73 59 68 67; fax: +47 73 55 02 03. E-mail address: rannveig.kvande@material.ntnu.no (R. Kvande)

25、kcr in Eq. (6) includes also in reality the thermal conductivity of the coating, which is dependent of thickness and density of the coating. It is therefore difficult to quantify kcr and the growth rate is calculated at
