Gettering in silicon photovoltaics: A review
A key efficiency-limiting factor in silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) devices is the quality of the silicon material itself. With evolving cell architectures that better address other efficiency-loss channels in the device, the final device efficiency becomes increasingly sensitive to the contaminants in the silicon wafer bulk. However, due to cost constraints, silicon materials
