When high density electron beams of 50 to 75 keV energy were producing defects in n-type silicon as measured from p-n junctions ∖1∖ there resulted in a hefty controversy with the Purdue School (Lark-Horowitz) since it was standard knowledge that electrons needed more than 200 MeV energy to remove an Si-atom from its lattice position. After the subthreshold defect generation was confirmed ∖2∖ and perhaps caused by a plasmon mechanism, the application for producing solar cells without the usual very aggressive and poison chemicals from inorganic as well as from organic semiconductors was an aim ∖3∖, but it first needed the cooperation between Australia, Iran and Germany until the first silicon solar cells were produced. It was essential that for this plasma-method, a new type of an electron beam for the electron energy and the necessary intensities was developed ∖3∖. Further details are reported. ∖1∖ H. Hora, Z.
