Abstract

We report on the stability of the c-Si surface passivation quality by aluminum oxide (AlOx), silicon nitride (SiNp), and AlOx/SiNy stacks under UV illumination. Low-temperature annealed AlOx shows a weak degradation during UV illumination, with surface recombination velocities (SRVs) of 25 cm/s after a UV dose of 275 kWh/m2. This degradation is less pronounced compared to that of fired SiNy layers with an SRV of 117 cm/s. After a firing step, the AlOx layer show even an improvement during UV illumination, resulting in stabilized SRVs of down to 1 cm/s. The improvement is mainly due to an increase of the negative fixed charge density in the AlOx layer up to a large value of -1.2×1013 cm-2.
