We investigated hydrogenated aluminum oxide (a-Al1-xOx:H) as a high quality rear surface passivation layer of crystalline silicon solar cells. The a-Al1-xOx:H films were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using a mixture of trimethylaluminum (TMA), carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen (H2) at a low substrate temperature of about 200 °C. The ratio of CO2 to TMA during deposition and thermal annealing after the film deposition are the key factors in achieving high quality passivation. A 28-nm-thick a-Al1-xOx:H film deposited by PECVD showed a low surface recombination velocity of about 10 cm/s.
