摘要
We report on a method for fast detection of defect rich areas in multicrystalline silicon solar wafers. It is based on photoluminescence imaging of the whole wafers and detects both the band-to-band radiation as well as the dislocation specific radiation D1. To illustrate the capabilities of the method we examined 5.0 x 5.0 cm(2) wafer pieces in different stages of their processing. The achieved resolution of the D1 images was similar to 120 mu m, within a total recording time of 550 ms. (C) 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
