Abstract :
A magnetically enhanced remote plasma source is applied to deposit AlOx thin films for crystalline solar cell passivation. High deposition rate and stable high surface charge density are reported. Significant lifetime increase is reported for both backside passivation on p-type solar cell and front side passivation on n-type solar cell. With its unique linear architecture, this technology could be the next enabler for AlOx passivation in solar cell manufacturing.
