Sentence examples for raw silicon from inspiring English sources

"We use one-fifth of the raw silicon material compared with traditional PV cells," he says.

Raw silicon transistor performance has improved dramatically in the past decade, which has spurred much of the research.

This is usually done in a batch process, but the HiCz process makes it possible to continuously feed in raw silicon to the melt, along with whatever trace elements are needed to give it the desired electronic properties.

Using the manufacturing facilities at SUNY Polytechnic Institute's Colleges of Nanoscale Sciences and Engineering, the researchers tried out a series of recipes for polysilicon deposition, varying the type of raw silicon used, processing temperatures and times, until they found one that offered a good tradeoff between electronic and optical properties.

This can make a huge difference to the overall cost of producing solar cells, says Howard Branz, principal scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's National Center for Photovoltaics, in Golden, CO.
