Abstract:This paper presents the numerical analysis of the velocity distribution in for a Fully Automatic Horizontal Diffusion Furnace for manufacturing Silicon Solar Cells. Diffusion and convection usually are interconnected in physics world, while convection is directly connected with flow velocity. Therefore, in a diffusion oven, the velocity of the gas(es) surrounding the wafer zone would play an important role in the quality of the process. A more uniform laminar flow surrounding the area, should in fact results i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
