The majority of solar cells produced today are made with crystalline silicon wafers, which are typically manufactured by growing a large piece of silicon and then sawing it into ~200 pm wafers, a process which converts one-half of the high-purity silicon into waste sawdust. To bypass the sawing process, a new method for making high-quality multicrystalline wafers without sawing is under develop...

Due to the brittleness of silicon, use a diamond wire cut silicon wafers is critical stage in solar cell manufacturing. In order improve production yield cutting process, it necessary have thorough understanding phenomena relating parameters. This research reviews and summarizes technology for precision machining monocrystalline using sawing (DWS). Firstly, mathematical models, molecular dynami...
