Evaluating the impact of thermal annealing on c-Si/Al2O3 interface: Correlating electronic properties to infrared absorption

Al2O3 is the standard for the passivation of p-type PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) solar cells. It is well established that the thin interfacial silicon oxide layer in between Al2O3 and c-Si plays a key role in its surface passivation mechanism. In this work, we investigate the interface pro...
