摘要
Surface antireflectance and passivation properties of the Al2O3 films deposited on Czochralski Si wafers by atomic layer deposition (ALD) are investigated. Textured Si with 100-nm Al2O3 shows a very low average reflectance of similar to 2.8%. Both p- and n-type Si wafers are well passivated by Al2O3 films. The maximal minority carrier lifetimes are improved from similar to 10 mu s before Al2O3 passivation to above 3 ms for both p-and n-type Si after Al2O3 film deposition and annealing at an appropriate temperature. Hence, an ALD-deposited Al2O3 film shows the dual function of antireflectance and surface passivation for solar cell applications.
