    Abstract

    Millisecond minority carrier lifetimes were measured in n-type multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) grown by directional solidification and subjected to phosphorus gettering. The lifetimes were found to decrease for lower resistivities. The demonstration of good stability under illumination for n-type mc-Si was reported.
