Silicon sUbstrates from an inteGrated Automated pRocess (SUGAR)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
...f the ultra-thin solar wafers, a material, for instance a metallic material, with a high coefficient of thermal expansion, is deposited on the substrate at high temperature. The system is then cooled down, and the difference of thermal expansion induces some stress in the silicon substrate. When the stress exceeds the mechanical strength of silicon, a crack propagates parallel to the surface, and ...

Sustainable use of chemical fumigants for the control of soil-borne pathogens in the horticultural sector (SustUse Fumigants)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Background
The management of soil-borne pests in intensive horticultural systems was based for years on the use of methyl bromide. However, this chemical reacts in the atmosphere to release elemental bromine, which is severely damaging to the ozone layer. It was the subject of phase-out requirements under international agreements in the 1980s. Phasing out ...
