Abstrakt: For further enhancement of solar energy conversion efficiency the passivation of silicon (Si) substrate surfaces and interfaces of Si-based solar cell devices is a decisive precondition to reduce recombination losses of photogenerated charge carriers. These losses are mainly controlled by surface charges, the density and the character of rechargeable interface states (Dit) [], which are induced by defects localised in a small interlayer extending over only few Å. Therefore, the application of fast non-destructive methods for characterization of the electronic interface properties directly during the technological process has received an increasing interest in recent years.
