Abstract

An ultra thin surface passivation layer is essential to reduce the surface recombination and enhance the open circuit voltage for high efficiency crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. In that, we developed charge injection controllable thin films of SiOX and SiNX layers by PECVD for surface passivation of boron emitter c-Si surface. The refractive index of the SiOX/SiNX stack was optimized by varying the SiH4, NH3 and N2O gas ratios. Lower Dit of 5 × 1010 cm-2 eV-1 and high Qeff of -1.71 × 1011 cm-2 was obtained for 10 nm thick SiOX layer. The fabricated n-Si bifacial cell with insertion of 10 nm thick SiOX layer archived efficiency (η) of 19.48 % with fill factor (FF) of 77.5 %, whereas the cell without SiOX layer showed an η of 18.20 % with FF of 75.77.
