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 ...

Quartz’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures is useful for making crucibles or containers that hold the melted ...

They analyzed, in particular, how to regulate the discharge of oxygen from the quartz crucible into the silicon melt during the silicon growth phase in a Czochralski (CZ) puller, which is commonly ...
