Abstract
Lifetime stability of gallium‐doped multicrystalline silicon wafers has been evaluated under illumination. Quality and stability of the Ga‐doped multicrystalline silicon wafers were intensively studied by means of quasi‐steady‐state photocondcutance lifetime measurement. Results show that as‐grown Ga‐doped multicrystalline silicon wafers have high lifetimes, and no significant degradation was observed under illumination. The Ga‐doped multicrystalline silicon wafers are a promising material for future photovoltaics. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords
