Journal ArticleDOI
Excellent crystalline silicon surface passivation by amorphous silicon irrespective of the technique used for chemical vapor deposition
J.A. Schuttauf,Karine H. M. van der Werf,Inge M. Kielen,Wilfried van Sark,Jatindra K. Rath,Ruud E. I. Schropp +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface recombination velocities (SRVs) are reduced by two orders of magnitude after prolonged thermal annealing at 200 °C, which correlates with a decreased dangling bond density at the amorphous-crystalline interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transparent conducting oxide layers for thin film silicon solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, texture etching of ZnO:1%Al layers using diluted HCl solution provides excellent TCOs with crater type surface features for the front contact of superstrate type of thin film silicon solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
High quality crystalline silicon surface passivation by combined intrinsic and n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon
J.A. Schuttauf,Karine H. M. van der Werf,Inge M. Kielen,Wilfried van Sark,Jatindra K. Rath,Ruud E. I. Schropp +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of thermal annealing on the passivation quality of crystalline silicon surfaces by intrinsic and n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of surface passivation of crystalline silicon by a-Si:H with and without atomic hydrogen treatment using hot-wire chemical vapor deposition
TL;DR: In this article, surface passivation of c-Si wafers with and without atomic hydrogen treatment prior to a-Si:H deposition has been compared and it was shown that a short atomic hydrogen pretreatment is already detrimental for the passivation quality which might be due to the creation of defects in the Si.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the performance of amorphous and crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells by monitoring surface passivation
J.A. Schuttauf,C.H.M. van der Werf,Inge M. Kielen,W.G.J.H.M. van Sark,Jatindra K. Rath,Ruud E. I. Schropp +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of thermal annealing on the crystalline silicon surface passivating properties of selected amorphous silicon containing layer stacks (including intrinsic and doped films), as well as the correlation with silicon heterojunction solar cell performance has been investigated.
