The Fired Passivated Contact (FPC) structure allows the integration of passivating contacts with a low thermal budget by removing the high temperature crystallisation step usually used for standard TOPCon fabrication. However, these structures usually necessitate a post-firing hydrogenation in order to maintain high passivation quality. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of FPC process without hydrogenation after firing. We focus on the integration of boron-doped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon ((p) µc-Si:H) for the silicon-based layer. The passivation properties of chemical silicon oxide (SiOx)\(p) µc-Si:H\silicon nitride (SiNx:H) stacks are studied, as well as the role of SiNx:H and aluminium oxide (AlOx) to act as diffusion barriers against hydrogen exodiffusion during the firing step.
