Please send your abstracts to: [email protected] Deadline: February 28, 2015 Deadline for abstract submission: January 31, 2015 May 5 - 8, 2015 Bamberg, Germany Crystalline Silicon for Photovoltaics meets World Cultural Heritage CSSC-8 Objective The 8th International Workshop on Crystalline Silicon for Solar Cells (CSSC-8) will take place under the patronage of the German Association of Crystal Growth (DGKK) in the world cultural heritage Bamberg, Germany from May 5 - 8, 2015. CSSC-8 will give an overview about recent developments in the field of crystalline silicon technologies from fundamentals to industrial production. CSSC-8 will continue the tradition of the seven previous workshops to bring together scientists, researchers, industrial engineers, and crystal growers working in the field of crystalline silicon technologies for solar cells. This workshop has been previously held in Japan (2006 and 2013), China (2007), Norway (2009), Taiwan (2010), USA (2011), and France (2012). For the first time, worldwide experts on crystalline silicon and related science and technology will meet in Germany. The workshop is going to provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss results and developments in the areas of: • Silicon feedstock material • Growth of silicon single crystals, ingots, ribbons, and films • Wafering technologies • Kerf-less wafer technologies • Material characterization • In-situ process control • Process and equipment modeling Accomodation & Registration The workshop is being held in the world cultural heritage city Bamberg in Bavaria in Germany. The Congress Hall is located nearby the beautiful historic city center of Bamberg and the river Regnitz. The program will include invited and contributed oral and poster presentations, an industrial exhibition, and an open forum discussion allowing for a fruitful exchange between industrial and scientific participants.
