Fabrication of Poly-Si on Locally Etched SiOx as Passivating Contacts for c-Si Solar Cells
Polysilicon on silicon oxide (poly-Si/SiO x ) passivating contacts with predominant charge-carrier transport via pinholes were prepared with room temperature metal-assisted chemical etching. Pinhole areal densities in the range of 2.8 x 10^4 to 4.5 x 10^7 cm^-2 were imaged by SEM. Contact resistivity of 32 m-ohm-cm^2 and implied open circuit voltage of 729 mV were obtained for symmetric n+ poly-Si/SiOx grown onto randomly textured n-Cz. We also show preliminary data pertaining boron-doped polysilicon on nitride/oxide passivating contacts, with which we achieved implied open circuit voltage above 730 mV and recombination current of 0.2 fA/cm^2.
