摘要：

Degrading the recombination activities of grain boundaries (GBs) is essential to improve the efficiency of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) based solar cells. We apply the deep level transient spectroscopy technique to detect interface states at Sigma 3 and Sigma 9 GBs in me-Si. The density of interface states close to midgap is found comparable for both as-grown GBs. Gettering or hydrogenation leads to shallower states with a smaller capture cross section and lower density. Recombination activity reduction for Sigma 3 GBs is stronger than for Sigma 9 GBs especially after hydrogenation. Both the analysis approach and experimental results could be applied for a specific GB engineering of mc-Si based solar cells. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
