What is the difference between the material production processes for monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon?
Monocrystalline silicon: prepared by Czochralski method or Float Zone method, which is a complex and costly process.
Polycrystalline silicon: chemical vapour deposition or directional solidification preparation, the process is relatively simple and low cost.
