ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1109/PVSC.2011.6186223 | Abstract: | High-quality surface passivation is realized with plasma silicon nitride films deposited dynamically in an industrial microwave-powered plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. For low-resistivity p-Si wafers symmetrically passivated by as-deposited nearly-stoichiometric (n = 2.05) nitride films, we reach effective carrier lifetimes of up to 800 μs, increasing to up to 1800 μs for samples passivated by silicon-rich nitride films (n = 2.5). This corresponds to excellent surface recombination velocities of less than 14 and 4 cm/s, respectively, assuming a bulk carrier lifetime of 3.38 ms. Such levels of silicon surface passivation with plasma silicon nitride have previously only been possible with static laboratory systems. © 2011 IEEE. | Source Title: | Conference Record of the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/70486 | ISBN: | 9781424499656 | ISSN: | 01608371 | DOI: | 10.1109/PVSC.2011.6186223 |
