Researchers at IIT-Madras have tasted success in extracting silicon carbide from (simulated) moon soil — a development that could lead to the making of silicon carbide-based composites for ...

Through this process, the impurities are initially released into a solid solution and then undergo diffusion through the silicon ... from subsequently pulled ingots with varying impurity ...

Researchers from Norway and Germany investigated the influence of impurities in fused quartz crucibles used in silicon PV ingot production. The results suggest that the key factors influencing ...
