Influence of a SiO2 interlayer on AL2O3 passivated silicon wafers — •Johannes Ziegler1, Thomas Schneider1, Alexander N. Sprafke1, and Ralf B.

Silicon surfaces are exellently passivated by Al2O3 due to the chemical passivation of recombination active dangling bonds by saturation, as well as field effect passivation generated by a high density of fixed negative charges in the Al2O3. Therefore, it is used to reduce parasitic charge carrier recombination in silicon solar cells [1]. However silicon tends to form a layer of SiO2 on its surface. In most cases, Al2O3 is deposited on an Si/SiO2 interface [2]. Thus the thickness and growing conditions of the SiO2 interlayer influences the passivation quality of the Si/SiO2/Al2O3 passivation stack. The influence of differently wet-chemically grown SiO2 interlayers in such passivation stack is investigated by effective minority carrier lifetime measurements.
