The effect of NH3 plasma treatment on p-type (Fz) Si substrates was investigated relating with the post annealing process. NH3 plasma treatment before the low temperature deposition of silicon nitride (SiNx) by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was found to be effective to improve the surface passivation. The effective lifetime with NH3 plasma-treatment exceeded the effective lifetime without the NH3 treatment. For fire through process and the new process, like laser fired contacts (LFC), thermal resistance of passivation processes investigated. In the result of NH3 plasma-treatment, outstanding surface passivation for high efficiency thin silicon solar cells was obtained using SiN films deposited at low temperatures. |
