Abstract(in English) The effect of NH_3 plasma treatment on p-type (Fz) Si substrates was investigated relating with the post annealing process. NH_3 plasma treatment before the low temperature deposition of silicon nitride (SiN_x) by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was found to be effective to improve the surface passivation. The effective lifetime with NH_3 plasma-treatment exceeded the effective lifetime without the NH_3 treatment. For fire through process and the new process, like laser fired contacts (LFC), thermal resistance of passivation processes investigated. In the result of NH_3 plasma-treatment, outstanding surface passivation for high efficiency thin silicon solar cells was obtained using SiN films deposited at low temperatures.
