Abstract

See full text

A method for the characterization of a silicon layer on a translucent substrate, in particular, for the characterization of a solar cell blank, includes detecting by at least one optical detector, the light transmitted through the silicon layer and/or reflected on the silicon layer. The method also includes determining a degree of absorption of the silicon layer for at least one wavelength by means of the detected light. The method further includes determining a quantity ratio between an amorphous fraction and a crystalline fraction of the silicon layer or between one of these fractions and the total of these fractions by means of the degree of absorption.
