In this RRL publication we investigate how the bulk resistivity affects the performance of silicon cells and the reliability of modules.The cells with bulk resistivities over 1000 Ωcm show breakdown voltages larger than −1000 V, almost two orders of magnitude higher than in typical commercial cells.
