In c-Si solar cells, surface recombination velocity increases as the wafer thickness decreases due to an increase in surface to volume ratio. For high efficiency, in addition to …
In this paper we demonstrate that an additional nitrous oxide (N 2 O) plasma treatment step after the regular SiN x: H anti-reflective coating (ARC) deposition practically eliminates …
Low temperature oxidation of silicon in plasma ambient is a potential candidate for replacing thermally grown SiO 2 films for surface passivation of crystalline silicon solar cells. In this …
