Abstract

The improvement of silicon surface passivation was discussed. The use of a hydrogen plasma treatment, just before hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide deposition, was studied. The dependence lifetime of crystalline silicon was measured through a quasi-steady photoconductance technique. It was found that the the hydrogen plasma treatment improved surface passivation compared to HF dip.
