Passivation layers are able to prevent unwanted premature recombination of electrons and electron holes within the silicon, allowing these charged particles to leave the solar cell and do their 'power generating' job. Bronkhorst equipment is involved in applying thin aluminium oxide passivation layers.
Passivation is deemed as one representative strategy to bring the efficiency of Si solar cells closer to the theoretical limit efficiency of 31% . 2.1.2. Passivation from theory aspect In a perfect Si crystal, each Si atom is connected with four adjacent Si atoms by covalent bond via sp3 hybridization.
To further promote the surface passivation and hole selectivity of the rear contact for high-performance p -Si solar cells, an additional ultrathin Al 2 O 3 film was employed as the passivation interlayer.
Surface passivation methods can be categorised into two broad strategies: Reduce the number of interface sites at the surface. Reduce the population of either electrons or holes at the surface. Point one above usually involves the formation of hydrogen and silicon bonds and is commonly referred to as ‘chemical passivation.
