SERIS researchers developed a 16-cm² perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a double-sided TOPCon bottom cell, enhancing passivation, reducing recombination, and increasing voltage and fill factor.

DAS Solar and Hebei University have identified two types of pinholes in TOPCon solar cells: harmful recombinational pinholes, ...

Monocrystalline silicon is an infrared optical material with excellent comprehensive cost performance. Optical grade Czochralski silicon (OCZ-Si) as a transmission grade material is widely used in the ...

Researchers identify a membrane transporter in rice that regulates the accumulation and localization of silicon in the leaves. Silicon (Si) is abundant in terrestrial environments and accounts for 0.1 ...

From quartz sand to silicon wafers, the manufacturing process is critical for achieving the purity and quality needed for advanced semiconductor applications.

Modern chips are manufactured on slabs of silicon less than a millimeter thick. But semiconductor companies try to slice these silicon wafers thinner and thinner to squeeze more performance out of ...

Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, reveal that deleting SIET4 in rice damages tissue in the shoot and root and induces plant death when these plants are grown in the presence of Si. Silicon ...
