摘要
Thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers deposited by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) are investigated for use in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells on p-type crystalline silicon wafers. A requirement for excellent emitter quality is minimization of interface recombination. Best results necessitate immediate a-Si:H deposition and an abrupt and flat interface to the c-Si substrate. We obtain a record planar HJ efficiency of 16.9% with a high V., of 652 mV on p-type float-zone (FZ) silicon substrates with HWCVD a-Si:H(n) emitters and screen-printed Al-BSF contacts. H pretreatment by HWCVD is beneficial when limited to a very short period prior to emitter deposition.
