Scratch Fracture of Polycrystalline Silicon Wafers

Fracture of silicon wafers is responsible for lower than desirable manufacturing yields in the photovoltaic industry. This study investigates the fracture response of polycrystalline silicon wafers under sliding contacts at different length scales, by means of macro and microscratch tests which simu...
