A team of researchers from the Nanoengineering Research Centre (CRNE) and the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya—BarcelonaTech (UPC) has found a way to manufacture crystalline silicon materials cheaper and faster. The results of their research have recently been published online in Applied Physics Letters. This thin crystalline silicon wafer production method can be used to fabricate the latest generation of solar cells. Read more »
