Abstract

A review is presented of experimental data on the electrodeposition of silicon from molten salt and organic solutions, with emphasis on studies reported in the last three years. The potential of this method for photovoltaic applications is considered. Electrodeposition of silicon at temperatures above its melting point is a promising method of producing inexpensive silicon to be recrystallized by pulling or casting crystals. Deposition of layers onto graphite by electrowinning or electrorefining requires a relatively slow deposition rate but has the advantage of eliminating several processing steps.
