Abstract

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited silicon nitride films have been used to passivate both the front and rear surface of simplified PERC silicon solar cells (planar surface, single-step emitter). An independently confirmed open circuit voltage (Voc) of 667 mV was measured, proving the outstanding surface passivation provided by the silicon nitride films. The achieved Voc represents a significant improvement for all-SiN passivated silicon solar cells. A conversion efficiency of 17.8% was obtained. For comparison, similar cells with different passivation schemes, including high quality, thermally grown TCA oxides and thin SiO2/SiN double layers, were also investigated. Open circuit voltages up to 673 mV and conversion efficiencies up to 18.3% were achieved.
