Zusammenfassung:Various methods of manufacturing low-cost solar-grade silicon are reviewed. The methods include refining metallurgical-grade silicon, reduction of silicon compounds by metals and nonmetals, transport and thermal decomposition processes. The materials are briefly characterized by the chemical analysis, resistivity measurements and efficiency of solar cells obtained from them.
