Abstract :
We have tried the low temperature n-type emitter growth to obtain high open circuit voltages (Voc) as an alternative to the diffusion technology. The quality of low temperature n/sup +/ poly-Si/p poly-Si/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ solar cells were investigated through the transmission electron microscopy and photovoltaic I-V characteristics. High quality poly-Si/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ substrates having a few dislocations and stacking faults without strain were obtained. Also, relatively-high Voc solar cells could be fabricated at very low temperature less than 200/spl deg/C by standard plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
