Researchers develop antimony-doped n-type silicon ingots to enhance solar module mechanical strength
An international team is proposing to use antimony-doped Czochralski-grown silicon as an alternative to n-type silicon for photovoltaic applications. Their analysis showed that 140 μm as-cut planar antimony-doped wafers exhibit slightly higher mechanical strength compared to common wafers doped with phosphorous.

Improving diamond wire sawing to reduce kerf loss in solar wafer production
Researches in China have sought to assess how lateral vibration in diamond wire sawing can increase kerf losses in solar wafer manufacturing and have developed a predictive model than can reportedly help reduce them. Their analysis showed that, with constant sawing parameters, smaller wafers suffer from greater excess kerf loss.
