Silicon wafer solar cells continue to be the leading photovoltaic technology, and in many places are now providing a substantial portion of electricity generation. Further adoption of this technology will require processing that minimises losses in device performance.
The first study of the surface passivation properties of Al 2 O 3 on silicon was in fact already published in 1989 by Hezel and Jaeger . They used the relatively simple deposition technique of atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) and demonstrated a very good level of surface passivation on p-type silicon.
The gap between large-scale and laboratory-scale results is continuously closing, and very good passivation dielectrics are already possible for the current level of efficiency in solar cells. As other loss mechanisms of the cells are reduced, the surface will require further passivation.
