In this paper, we present the study of the silicon mono-like (ML-Si) material. Its physical and chemical properties are analyzed and compared to those of Czochralski-monocrystalline silicon (Cz-Si) and multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si). After chemical treatment of each material, the surface is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We observe that Cz-Si and ML-Si present the same morphology and crystallographic orientation. FTIR analysis shows an (interstitial) oxygen content of the same order for three materials but with values of ML-Si closer to that of mc-Si. Substitutional carbon concentration is intermediate for ML-Si between those of Cz-Si and mc-Si. Reflectivity of ML-Si is 5 % higher than that of Cz-Si and much lower than mc-Si surface after NaOH texture. Photoluminescence analysis indicates that ML-Si and Cz-Si materials present better homogeneity than mc-Si material. At the final, we present the advantages and drawbacks of ML-Si material with regard to Cz-Si and mc-Si. ML-Si has better material properties, having fewer grain boundaries and dislocations compared to mc-Si. In addition, containing a single grain allows a lower surface reflectance to be obtained by using alkaline texturing. We also find that ML-Si is almost identical to Cz-Si. |
