Samenvatting:
We show that boron-diffused emitters can be passivated with AlOx deposited using RF sputtering of an Al target. The surface passivation achieved so far is inferior to that obtained using an op-timised PECDV SiN process that in-cludes a chemically grown SiO2 interfa-cial layer. Nevertheless, the levels of passivation obtained, expressed by emitter recombination current densities of JoE=228-349 fA/cm2 for sheet resistances of 88–210 O/?, are already consistent with solar cell with efficiencies in the 20% range.
