Popis: We experimentally proved an effective use of UV-ozone oxide layer in junction passivation and current tunneling applications of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. The UV-ozone generated oxide layer can improve the passivation quality of aluminum oxide(AlO x ) when inserted between the silicon wafer surface and atomic layer deposited(ALD) AlO x . When tested on junctions that moderately diffused by phosphorus and boron (sheet resistance R sh ~110 Ω/□), the UV-ozone oxide and AlO x stack resulted in a J 0 no more than 12fA/cm2. The same oxide layer is also considered as a passivating contact material. When applied as an interlayer between diffused silicon surface and aluminum contact, the passivated contact structure realized a contact resistivity (ρ c ) of ~ 1mΩ-cm2 and ~ 25mΩ-cm2 for boron and phosphorus passivating contact structures, respectively, with moderately doped diffusions.
