Samenvatting:
We investigated the deposition of mc-Si by microwave PECVD.  MWPECVD is an excellent tool for fast deposition of silicon at low temperatures; however, this fast growth is often accompanied by high porosity. In order to obtain dense Si layers we investigated a wide deposition parameter space, where we systematically varied substrate temperature Ts, pressure p, total flow Ftot, flow ratio FSiH4/FH2 and microwave power PMW. We identified a deposition regime for growth of dense mc-Si layers. Main characteristics of this regime are high substrate temperatures (300 ºC) and a reduced microwave power. Silicon layers grown in this regime have a refractive index above 3.0, showing that the porosity of the layers is low. Opto-electronic characterization shows that the layers already fulfill most requirements for absorber layers in thin film silicon solar cells
