The α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> pigment consists of prismatic crystals with a smooth surface and distinct edges. The UV-VIS-NIR spectra demonstrated that the α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> pigment strongly absorbs light in the wavelength range of 200–420 nm, and its absorption edge falls between 420 nm and 550 nm.

Reducing defects enhances electronic properties, decreasing device failures and increasing yields. A new algorithm is suggested in this study via computational modeling and simulation to ascertain the pulling speed necessary for silicon crystal growth with fewer defects. This algorithm can adjust the pulling speed dynamically to correctly position the boundary between vacancies and interstitials and allow enough recombination time during crystal growth before point defects reach the bulk defects nucleation temperature. Experimental validation is performed using polished silicon wafers taken from final silicon ingots, accompanied by laser particle count measurements. The results validate the effectiveness of the new algorithm in reducing defect formation during crystal growth. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of production speed, cost, and power consumption at different pulling speeds is provided. The suggested algorithm finds a middle ground between production efficiency and crystal quality, offering speed and cost optimization while maintaining minimal defect formation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"76 11","pages":"6545 - 6554"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the DN-GAN network is used to expand the data to solve the problem of insufficient data volume, where the original data are fused with the expanded data to form a new dataset. The tree-structured Parzen estimator (TPE) optimization algorithm is used to optimize the hyperparameters of the basic model in the stacking integration algorithm.
