Is monocrystalline silicon a p-type or n-type semiconductor?
Monocrystalline silicon can be treated as an intrinsic semiconductor consisting only of excessively pure silicon. It can also be a p-type and n-type silicon by doping with other elements. In the production of solar cells, monocrystalline silicon is sliced from large single crystals and meticulously grown in a highly controlled environment.
What is a monocrystalline silicon cell?
