Influence of surface passivation on the minority carrier lifetime, Fe-B pair density and recombination center concentration
Three kinds of methods (0.08 mol/L iodine in ethanol, SiN x :H, and 40% HF) are used to passivate solar-grade Czochralski (Cz) silicon wafers. Thereafter, minority carrier lifeti...
