An Organizer For Structuring Silicon Without High Temperatures Developed: Useful For Solar Cells

Organizers make life easier; aluminum could help the semi-conductor industry to convert silicon from a disordered to an ordered form at low temperatures. This crystalline silicon functions much more efficiently in solar cells, for example. However up to now it has only been possible to manufacture it at high temperatures and it could therefore not be applied to heat-sensitive materials such as plastic or paper. Scientists have now found a way to systematically lower the crystallization temperature of silicon - from 700º to 150º Celsius and to any temperature within that range.
