چکیده انگلیسی
This study focuses on the electrostatic interaction between the ALD Al2O3 passivation layer and the PECVD a-SiNX:H capping layer, while reducing ALD Al2O3 thickness. The first one embeds negative fixed charges while the second is well known to possess a fixed charge density with an opposite polarity. We reduced the Al2O3 thickness from 20 to 2 nm while keeping constant the a-SiNX:H thickness. To increase the magnitude of the field effect passivation provided by Al2O3, we used an original light-induced field effect enhancement strategy. QSS-PC was used to quantify the initial passivation properties. We monitored the evolution of the passivation quality under low-intensity light-soaking until its stabilization. We report here a minority carrier lifetime enhancement up to 900% and surface recombination velocity reduction below 10 cm.s-1. The evidence of field effect compensation at c-Si surface due to a-SiNX:H positive charges has been supported by numerical simulations (SILVACO ATLAS). While keeping the parameters of the a-SiNX:H layer constant, the configuration of the Al2O3 layer (thickness and fixed charge density) were varied. These results allow us to conclude that in order to use thinner Al2O3 passivation layer (2 nm), ideal capping layer has to be free of positive fixed charges and to release enough hydrogen at desired temperature to ensure the chemical passivation.
