SummaryTransformation of amorphous into crystalline siliconOverviewPropertiesCell technologiesMono-siliconPolycrystalline siliconNot classified as Crystalline silicon
Amorphous silicon can be transformed to crystalline silicon using well-understood and widely implemented high-temperature annealing processes. The typical method used in industry requires high-temperature compatible materials, such as special high temperature glass that is expensive to produce. However, there are many applications for which this is an inherently unattractive production method.
