Eco‐Efficient Processing and Refining Routes for Secondary Raw Materials from Silicon Ingot and Wafer Manufacturing

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The ICARUS project developed pilot‐scale processes to recover and refine secondary raw materials from silicon photovoltaic (PV) ingot and wafer manufacturing waste. Silicon kerf, graphite, and silica residues are purified into high‐value inputs for the PV value chain and beyond.

Lightweight Hybrid Wafer Defect Pattern Network Based on Feedforward Efficient Attention

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 149-166, February 2026.
ABSTRACT With the increase of semiconductor integration density, in order to cope with the increase of wafer defect complexity and types, especially the low recognition accuracy of overlapping mixed defects and unknown wafer defects, this study proposes a lightweight model for wafer defect detection called LightWMNet.

Analysis of a Lateral Grain Boundary for Reducing Performance Variations in Poly-Si 1T-DRAM

Micromachines, 2020
A capacitorless one-transistor dynamic random-access memory device that uses a poly-silicon body (poly-Si 1T-DRAM) has been suggested to overcome the scaling limit of conventional one-transistor one-capacitor dynamic random-access memory (1T-1C DRAM).

Piezoresistance in polysilicon

Electronics Letters, 1984
A theoretical model for piezoresistance in polysilicon is described. Grain size, orientation and doping dependence effects are included. Predictions of gauge factor using the model give reasonable agreement with experimental results and enable optimum processing parameters to be chosen for a given grain size.
