Samenvatting:

In this study we determine the structural properties of SiNx:H layers and relate these to both the deposition parameters and its passivating qualities for solar cells. We show that Si-N bond density is an important parameter governing both the bulk and surface passivation of the SiNx:H layers. The best bulk and surface passivating layers have a relatively low hydrogen diffusion coefficient due to a high Si-N bond density. We find optimum bulk and surface passivation for Si-N bond densities of 1.3*1023 cm-3, regardless of nitrogen containing precursor gases used and regardless of the wafer quality.
